Jake Sullivan disputes book’s claim that Biden forgot his name

  • Jake Sullivan, former national security adviser to Joe Biden, disputed claims that Biden forgot his name amid debate struggles in June 2024.
  • These claims appeared in the book 'Original Sin,' which alleges Biden and his aides concealed his mental decline during his White House tenure.
  • Sullivan recalled waking Biden during crises and stated, "Joe Biden knows my name," denying the book's claim he was called 'Steve' twice in 2022.
  • Sullivan described the events of the debate as surprising for himself and others, but he still stood by Biden’s record as commander-in-chief.
  • After struggling in the June CNN debate against Donald Trump, Biden withdrew from the 2024 race, allowing Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee.
