There are a few reasons that Joe Biden may not be stepping aside despite all the calls to do so.
First, his wife Jill's craving for power and recognition. Then there's his own insecurities about being challenged to step aside when he thinks he's better than everyone else, and how dare they question him?!
But there's a new report that deals with another reason, and it sounds like a powerful one for Jill.
When Kamala Harris took to the stage during a Democratic primary debate before the 2020 election and implied that Joe Biden was racist, his wife, Jill's, response was crystal clear.
'Go f**k yourself,' the then-future first lady vented, as she allegedly admitted during a conference call with supporters.
And it's a relationship that has only gotten worse over time, according to the report.
According to one former Democrat operative in Jill's circle, the women's long-seated animosity is 'one hundred per cent' part of Jill's resistance to having her 81-year-old husband step aside.
Because the truth, according to a source who knows the First Couple well, is that Jill's is now the only voice to which the 46th president listens.
And as far as Jill, 73, is concerned, the only thing worse than her husband stepping down would be Kamala stepping up to replace him.
One source described it as "hatred," saying Jill holds grudges and she hasn't let it go. She tried to stop Kamala from being picked as vice president in 2020 but failed.
Then there's Jill's obsession with power and how that's also fueling hanging in there.
But according to one well-placed source while the light of public scrutiny is trained on Biden's mental acuity, the real power behind the throne is Jill, who wants to stay in the White House almost as much as she wants to keep Harris out of it.
The source told DailyMail.com, 'Jill has become consumed by the power and prestige of the presidency and what that means to her.'
The source pointed out that in January 2022 the Marine Corps band performed an original composition entitled, 'Fanfare for the First Lady,' essentially Jill's personal 'Hail to the Chief.'
Mike Miller wrote about the fanfare story back in 2022, and that story was resurrected this week as people discussed Jill's machinations.

After the story hit back then, with the publicity (and the mockery), the song was reportedly pulled, not to be played again. The White House disputes the story.
Who can forget this moment too?

It may come down to negotiation and what Jill would want to step aside, although the pendulum seems to be swinging back toward Biden staying at the moment.
But if any deal for Biden to step aside includes Kamala replacing him, given the animosity from Jill, that's another reason that such a deal may go south.

Dr. Jill is a doctor. Kamela was Willie Brown’s mistress. I can see Jill getting PO’d about having to go up against a ho.
Dr. Jill is not a real doctor. She has a doctorate of education.
So who will be his puppet President this time? Joe or Kamala? I think he's going to pick big Mike
She has an EdD.
Dr Jill?
Any photos with it’a legs crossed?
Men set like DT.
EdD is the degree you get when your ambition is to become a school principal or superintendent, who are usually assholes and hated by everyone. So it fits.
Democrats want Joe to exit while Republicans want Joe to stay in.
What happens if Biden barricades himself in the WH with a .50 BMG a la the general in Dr Strangelove and refuses to leave?
Nothing if the DOJ have anything to do with it.
Jill Biden - America’s Eva Braun.
I suspect that someone is following in the footsteps of another former first lady in becoming a bitter, controlling, manipulative, fill in the rest of pejoratives or your choice.
IOW, someone is busy taking hillary lessons.

Biden White House demanded Marine Corps band compose
‘Fanfare for the First Lady’ entrance theme for Jill
In 2022, the Washington Examiner’s Becket Adams reported that the Marine Corps Band was instructed to compose an entrance theme for First Lady Jill Biden. The song, Fanfare for the First Lady, was intended to be a counterpoint to the president’s Hail to the Chief. But of course, the president is the elected commander in chief, and the First Lady is more of an honorary post. Many of those in the Marine Corps Band said they’d never been asked to do an exclusive First Lady entrance theme before. “Someone in the White House apparently ‘had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,’’ a source said. ‘The band had to provide music,’” Adams reported.
At the time, press secretary for the First Lady Michael LaRosa (yes, perk-obsessed Jill has one of those, too), said that the story was not accurate. “The first lady does not have a song anybody has written for her specifically. She has no ‘Hail to the Chief’ song. She has no song. She never asked anyone to create a song.”
“The White House asked nobody, not one person, to compose an exclusive entry song, or any song, for the first lady,” LaRosa added. “None of that is accurate.” Yet, the song exists. LaRosa said the whole thing was the band’s idea and that it wasn’t even written for First Lady Jill specifically, even though it was played just for her and there was a recording made as well so she could have the entrance song even when the band was not around. It was even performed at the White House’s Teacher of the Year event.
After Adams’ story was published, an update was released saying that “The U.S. Marine Band has retired ‘Fanfare for the First Lady’ from its repertoire, the Washington Examiner has learned. The song was removed quietly following the publication of this article, a source said. One source attributed the decision to pull the composition from rotation to ‘negative’ news coverage. We hope the first lady can forgive us for killing her entrance theme.”
A few months after her husband took office, Jill Biden posted this image of herself on social media, sitting at a desk aboard Air Force One, looking very important. A flight jacket with the presidential seal is draped over the back of her chair, to leave you in no doubt about the power behind the throne.
“Prepping for the G7,” she wrote on her @FLOTUS “US Government Official” account, under the photo in which a scholarly “Dr. Jill,” wearing reading glasses, pen in hand, is studying a thick ring binder of notes.
Are these classified notes? Does drjill have security clearance to view these?
As the 72-year-old wife of the oldest president in history, the effrontery of this spousal usurper on her first overseas trip was a portent of liberties to come.
Three years later, as her husband, now 81, grows increasingly befuddled, Dr. Jill is stepping up, doing solo campaign visits and TV appearances, weighing in on politics and polls as if it were she who is running for office.
And now we hear that the first lady has been pressuring her husband on Israel’s war on Hamas with these words: “Stop it. Stop it now, Joe.” At a Ramadan event at the White House last week, Joe Biden reportedly told attendees about “Jill’s sophisticated geopolitical advice.”

OMG....Jill is NOT a DOCTOR!!! She’s an “educator”.
If Kamala is made President, the story will be “JOE, WHO??”
