Jill Biden said she feared Joe Biden was having a medical emergency while watching his 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump. She made the admission for the first time in a preview clip for an upcoming CBS News interview with Rita Braver, scheduled to air on CBS Sunday Morning. After the clip aired on CNN, Abby Phillip contrasted Jill Biden’s private fear with public comments that praised Joe Biden’s debate performance. Phillip argued that the admission should prompt discussion of deceptiveness surrounding Biden’s health and criticized what she described as coverage that covered up concerns. She also said early reporting about Biden’s cognitive ability was attacked by the Biden White House during the 2024 campaign.
"Jill Biden made the claim for the first time in a preview clip released Wednesday from an upcoming interview with CBS News correspondent Rita Braver. She recalled being so frightened watching the debate unfold that she worried something was seriously wrong on stage. The full interview is scheduled to air later this week on CBS Sunday Morning. After airing the clip on Wednesday's NewsNight on CNN, Phillip noted that the private stance contrasted stands in stark contrast with public comments, rolling a further clip from the same time in which Jill Biden praised the president's debate performance."
"Phillip shared some thoughts of her own: I appreciate that we now get to see at least some version of a truth that she's putting out there, because I think, yeah, the conversation should be had about the deceptiveness that was behind this. Like that's the conversation that I think ought to be had. The autopsy that the Democrats did, didn't delve into that but it should. What kind of political system covers that up? And makes it OK to lie to people about what everybody knows is true?"
"Pointing back to the beginning of the 2024 presidential race, Phillip said that the Wall Street Journal's initial report on the former president's cognitive ability was attacked relentlessly by the Biden White House. That was before the book. That was before all of this post-partum stuff. It was happening in real time, she said. Watch above via CNN."
