Jill Biden, wife of President Joe Biden, has spoken about her surprise at Kamala Harris's loss in the 2024 election to Donald Trump. In her upcoming memoir, she also detailed her concerns about Joe Biden's performance during a presidential debate.
Former first kasy Jill Biden has now said that she was so certain that Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election and beat Donald Trump that she was shocked when it did not happen. As she claimed this in a new inteview on CBS News to Rita Braver ahead of the release of her memoir 'Views from the East Wing', Braver was surprised enough. "You were?" Braver asked. “The excitement for her and the crowds and, I mean, how people rallied around her, and I truly felt that she was going to win,” Jill Biden said. “I was shocked she didn’t win, because I think she would be a good president.” Jill Biden and Kamala Harris were never known to be good friends. In the memoir, set to be released tomorrow (June 2), Jill Biden wrote that she knew that something was wrong when she watched Joe Biden struggle in the presidential debate. "Is this a stroke?" Jill wondered as she was watching the TV in a holding room near the CNN studio where President Biden was facing Donald Trump in June 2024. "It felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?" Jill wrote that she never came to know what happened that night. Maybe he had been given Ambien or codeine cough syrup for a persistent cough as he flew home from Europe and was feeling side effects "In that debate, Joe lost himself," Jill wrote in her memoir. "He lost the essence of who he was. He did not speak from the heart. His opponent lied more than a hundred times, but that didn't matter." Joe Biden was also aware of the disaster he delivered. As they walked off the set that night, Joe Biden whispered, "I really f*cked up, didn't I?" "Yes, you did," Jill said. Jill noted that she would leave inspirational or blunt notes for her husband during his presidency, including "You are my hero" and "Get up, champ. Get up." She even recalled writing him notes on foreign policy, like "Net has to stop" or "Be strong, Don’t let BN use your goodness," referring to Banjamin Netanyahu.
