00:00Former First Lady Jill Biden has made a surprising and some might find infuriating admission about
00:05Joe Biden in an interview with CBS News. She was asked about her husband's infamously terrible
00:10performance in the 2024 presidential debate with Donald Trump. Here's what she said.
00:14I wasn't horrified. I was frightened because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before
00:24or since. I don't know what happened. I mean, when I as I watched it, I thought,
00:28oh, my God, he's having a stroke and it scared me to death. Biden, the then president,
00:34shocked the nation that night, repeatedly freezing on camera, fumbling answers,
00:38and he appeared just kind of dazed and confused. And yet after the debate that frightened her so much,
00:44the First Lady played the supportive wife role, praising his performance. During an event with
00:48supporters shortly after the disastrous debate, she said, quote, Joe, you did such a great job.
00:54You answered every question. You knew all the facts. Within a month, the calls for Joe Biden
00:58to drop out of the race grew too loud to ignore. Of course, he left the race, setting up Kamala
01:03Harris
01:03to run.
