Even after the debate, the former first lady was among the staunchest advocates for her husband to continue his campaign in the 2024 preside

Former first lady Jill Biden ― who insisted during the 2024 presidential election she was “all in” on her husband staying in the race after his disastrous debate performance ― now says she thought he was having a medical crisis on stage. “I don’t know what happened. As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death,” the former first lady said in a clip from an upcoming interview with Rita Braver of “CBS News Sunday Morning,” released by the network Wednesday. “I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” she told Braver.
It was former President Joe Biden’s performance in the 2024 debate with now-President Donald Trump that raised broad concern among Democrats, leading many to call for him to end his bid for a second term. During the nearly two-hour debate, the then 81-year-old repeatedly trailed off, failed to call out Trump’s lies and occasionally gave nonsensical answers to moderator’s questions. His advisers blamed the lackluster occurance on a cold.
Former FLOTUS Jill Biden told CBS Sunday Morning interviewer Rita Braver that her husband and then-President Joe Biden was having a stroke during the infamous June 2024 debate.
