Jill Biden said she watched the 2024 presidential debate and believed Joe Biden might be having a stroke, saying it scared her. Alex Thompson reported that several former Biden aides do not accept that account. The reported skepticism centers on Jill Biden’s actions after the debate, including taking Joe Biden to a rally where she led a chant, going to a Waffle House, and traveling overnight to North Carolina for additional events. The aides also reportedly point to no evidence of a significant medical exam afterward. Some Democrats are described as viewing the current comments as unhelpful and as an attempt to rewrite the historical narrative of the debate and its aftermath.
"Jill Biden said that as she watched the debate, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. And it scared me to death. Well, a lot of Democrats, including several Biden aides that I've talked to since yesterday when this interview came out, just simply don't believe her, said Thompson, who co-wrote the book Original Sin with CNN's Jake Tapper."
"Because, you have to remember, going back to that night afterward, she then took Joe Biden to a rally where he spoke, where she led a chant of four more years,' and then afterward went to a Waffle House. They then flew overnight to North Carolina, had like a mini-rally when they landed, and they had a big rally where she introduced Joe Biden the next day."
"And a lot of former Biden aideshave told me if you really believed he might be having a stroke, that it's not necessarily the same behavior that you would do. There's no evidence that there was any significant medical exam afterward. And, you know, a lot of Democrats think that this is simply unhelpful to come out at this moment and try to rewrite this portion of history, Thompson said."
"Especially given that many of the top Biden aides, the loyalist aides that still insist that Joe Biden could have won that the Democratic party overreacted They have said since the 2024 election, they've gone before Congress and said It was only a few bad answers. The debate was not that bad, and the Democratic party overreacted.'"
