Jill Biden feared Joe Biden was having a stroke during the 2024 US presidential debate, according to corroborated reports from multiple news outlets. She said she had never seen him act the way he did during the debate. According to Bluesky, Jill Biden publicly stated for the first time that Democrats’ abandonment of Joe Biden after the debate was 'heartbreaking' and that medical concerns were concealed. The Biden administration previously said doctors examined President Biden 'days' following the debate, not in the moments after, according to NPR. In her memoir, as reported by The Atlantic, Jill Biden wrote that she wondered whether Joe Biden had unknowingly ingested drugs during the debate, felt they were watching an AI hologram of him that was glitching, and worried people would assume he was incoherent all the time based on his performance. Donald Trump responded to Jill Biden’s claims by saying, 'Any good wife' would have rushed onstage, according to The Indian Express.
