She shares this in her new memoir, \u201cView From The East Wing,\u201d but never says what she wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1293\">Trump Admin Reportedly Alarmed By Israel\u2019s Spying, Getting Too Close To Iran Negotiations<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>This anecdote sums up her book perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Released Tuesday, \u201cView From The East Wing\u201d is the former first lady\u2019s account of her time in the White House. Her side of every controversy, every criticism, every hard moment. The botched Afghanistan withdrawal? <\/span><i><span>But Joe took responsibility, and I showed sympathy.<\/span><\/i><span> Inflation? <\/span><i><span>Don\u2019t you remember how he got us through COVID? <\/span><\/i><span>Hunter\u2019s addiction? <\/span><i><span>We were a private family and never wanted to air it publicly.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s a defense brief dressed up as a memoir. And largely, it feels like Jill Biden never got past the first page of what she actually witnessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Instead of telling us how Nancy Pelosi stabbed the family in the back, leaving what was by all accounts an icy relationship, Jill writes about how Biden mended the friendship. When Kamala Harris gave Biden grief over the timing of his endorsement, the former first lady writes that she simply left the room. She even declined to hit back after \u201cMorning Joe\u201d read aloud the criticism Harris had lobbed at the family in her own book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>Jill, it seems, chose to take the high road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Everyone hits Jill Biden over not admitting her husband aged beyond the point of being able to serve. But did anyone really expect her to?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>No loving wife, no matter how great their political ambitions, would. I certainly didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>But I did expect the former first lady to dish it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When Kamala Harris wrote her book recapping the 2024 presidential election, she didn\u2019t hold back. Her staff, the Bidens and even her husband Dough Emhoff \u2013 everyone got a beating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I think Harris was wrong to blame everyone but herself for 2024. But the book was honest, and honesty was probably the best defense she could have offered of her campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1291\">Alabama Student Found Dead In Japan After Week Long Search<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Jill Biden\u2019s admissions, by contrast, feel unintentional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In one part of the book, she notes that she was up early grading some assignments for a college course she was teaching. A staffer texted her and asked her if the president was awake. He needed to jump on a National Security Council call. Hamas had just attacked Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Later, she concedes that Biden was aging. He got tired faster. The gaffes made her flinch. But she thought he was still fit to serve and that voters might not even care either way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>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\u201d the former first lady writes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If the book was meant to defend her husband and salvage his legacy, it fails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I say that as someone who is largely sympathetic to the Bidens. I covered the White House during their final year, and what I witnessed was heartbreaking. Biden\u2019s decline was obvious. It was made more obvious by how sharp everyone around him seemed by comparison. Staff, guests, reporters. It was hard to watch. Sometimes I felt angry that those around him would continue to put him through the presidency, let alone a presidential campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reading Jill\u2019s book, I found myself wishing she had come out swinging. Whether it was warranted or not, the Democratic Party treated this family badly. She had every right to say so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There were whispers during that final year, too. Biden staffers occasionally grumbled that the first lady was high-maintenance, that she liked the glitz and glamour that came with the office. It was enough to plant a certain image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Maybe this book was for her. It clearly wasn\u2019t for the party, or the staff, or the country. Jill Biden is still processing her husband\u2019s cancer diagnosis and still grieving Beau, who they lost to the same disease. Maybe this was just how she needed to work through it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1289\">Democratic Congresswoman Says Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner Has \u2018Disqualified Himself\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>That\u2019s human.
