Joe Biden’s disastrous debate with Trump ‘frightened’ Jill Biden
Politico ^ | May 27, 2026 | Aaron Pellish

Former first lady Jill Biden said then-President Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump in 2024 “frightened” her because she thought he might be experiencing a medical episode.

Jill Biden said in a CBS News “Sunday Morning” interview, a clip of which was released on Wednesday, that the former president “scared me to death” in his June 2024 debate against Trump, which prompted Democrats to begin pressuring Joe Biden to drop out of the race weeks before he ultimately suspended his campaign.

“I was frightened,” Jill Biden said of watching her husband debate Trump. “Because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since.”

His installation was the frightening event. The debate was the coda to 4 disastrous years.

and yet one of the most memorable things of the post debate coverage was showing how proud Jill was of her husband after the debate, saying he did a great job.

She has now admitted to being a complete faker.

Gaslighting extraordinaire. As if we all have not seen Joe lost and confused, speaking gibberish, forgetting what he was speaking about and otherwise demonstrating an extreme loss of his faculties. “I’ve never seen him like that before”? Jill, please.

I remain amazed that Biden’s handlers let him debate Trump. They had to know that the chances of Biden imploding were high.

It would have been wiser for Biden’s team to say, “President Biden will not debate a racist.” (Or whatever.)

Could it be that the handlers were setting Biden up to fail?
🤔

That was what I remember. Treating him like a 6yr old, on camera.

She is so full of it.
Then the left coast loses it and especially Rob Reiner.

Enter Kamabla....

My guess is that they thought they could pull it off with Kamala.

So she has been down graded to just Jill and not Doc Jill?
