Jill Biden says she thought husband was 'having a stroke' during 2024 debate
Jill Biden says the debate fallout helped drive her husband’s exit from the race after his performance alarmed Democrats and voters.
- Former first lady Jill Biden revealed Wednesday that watching her husband's June 2024 debate 'scared me to death,' telling CBS News she feared former President Joe Biden was having a stroke during the 90-minute event.
- Biden appeared hoarse and repeatedly lost his train of thought against President Donald Trump on June 27, 2024 in Atlanta, raising immediate concerns about the 81-year-old's fitness after months of dismissing questions about his mental capability.
- At a post-debate rally that night, Jill Biden publicly praised her husband, saying 'Joe, you did such a great job,' though she privately told CBS News 'I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since.'
- Democratic lawmakers and donors quickly questioned whether Biden should remain the nominee, prompting his July 21, 2024 withdrawal with 107 days remaining before Election Day and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
- Her memoir 'View from the East Wing' launches a book tour June 2, providing context for her first disclosure that she experienced the debate as a private medical fear, marking a significant shift from her immediate post-debate public messaging.
