Former First Lady Jill Biden couldn\u2019t sleep after watching her husband stumble through his disastrous June 2024 debate against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The early debate, pushed for by both campaigns, left Democrats in a panic and set off weeks of party infighting that ended with Joe Biden\u2019s withdrawal. The former First Lady released a memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House and defending her husband against concerns of his fitness while he was in office.

Jill Biden admitted in her memoir that her husband had gotten older, was \u201ctired more often,\u201d and had some \u201cuncomfortable moments\u201d over the years. Despite that, the former first lady thought that didn\u2019t disqualify him from the presidency.<\/p>\n

Below is an excerpt from Jill Biden\u2019s memoir:<\/p>\n

\n

Every morning in the following weeks, before I was fully awake, I had the feeling that something awful had happened. As I opened my eyes and sat up, I remembered what it was \u2013 the debate. Joe\u2019s performance had scared people into believing that he was suffering from a profound cognitive decline and that he wasn\u2019t mentally fit to be president.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

To me, and to those who spent the most time with him, the man on that stage was not who we saw on a daily basis. Yes, he was older. He seemed tired more often. But Joe\u2019s closest advisors said the campaign remained viable, and they insisted that Joe owed it to the country to stay in the race.<\/p>\n

Over the years, there had been uncomfortable moments, to be sure. I flinched when Joe said, at the White House press conference after the Hur Report was released, \u2018The president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in.\u2019 He meant \u2018the president of Egypt.\u2019 The truth was that he was not performing as well as he had in his younger days. Did that disqualify him from being president, as long as he was still getting the job done? I didn\u2019t think so, nor did the staff members who were spending far more time with him than I was.<\/p>\n

The optimistic thinking was that enough voters would say, \u2018Okay, he\u2019s old, but he\u2019s been doing a good job. There\u2019s a young vice president. If during his second term he gets to the point where he needs to hand over power, the worst-case scenario would still be good.\u2019<\/p>\n

If you knew Joe Biden well, you\u2019d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn\u2019t capable of doing the job, he would step down. Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n

The former first lady\u2019s media tour to promote her book has generated headlines about her husband\u2019s health while he was in office. In her first interview, which she did with CBS News, the former first lady said she thought Biden was having a stroke while on the debate stage.<\/p>\n

Social media users were quick to point out that the former first lady took Biden to Waffle House for a campaign stop after the debate. She has been pressed throughout her media tour on why she would do such a thing if she truly thought her husband was having a stroke.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBut publicly, of course, you said that he did well, you cheered him on that evening. What do you say to people who today wonder if you thought that then, that something, a medical episode had happened. Did you recommend that he go? Did you recommend that he go to a doctor?\u201d MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe host asked the former first lady about the moments after the 2024 debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a team of doctors around me as first lady. Joe had a team of doctors around him. So, when I saw that, and I was frightened, I was, you know, scared to death to see that, and, but the doctors were there,\u201d the former first lady stated. She noted that her husband believed he had messed up when he exited the stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then we got off the stage, and you know, I went to get my stuff. He was checked out by the doctors. They said he\u2019s fine. We went on to do three more events that night and Joe was like he always was, and so to me, as I look back, I mean that was so inexplicable. I just to this day it\u2019s just inexplicable,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
