First Lady Jill Biden recently disclosed her profound concern that her husband, then-President Joe Biden, might have been experiencing a stroke during a 2024 presidential debate. She stated that his performance in the June 2024 debate against Donald Trump was unlike anything she had witnessed from him before, leading her to believe he was suffering a medical emergency.

The former First Lady recounted her intense fright during the debate, which was widely criticized for President Biden's faltering and confused delivery. This widely-panned performance ultimately contributed to his decision to end his 2024 re-election campaign and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Jill Biden's remarks come as she promotes her upcoming memoir.
