Jill’s Ex-Husband Slams First Lady For Apparently Encouraging Joe To Stay In Race

Several sources, including family members and political insiders, suggest that First Lady Jill Biden is playing a significant role in supporting President Joe Biden's ongoing campaign despite increasing concerns.

According to the New York Post, Jill Biden’s ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, claimed she is "not the same person" he married in 1970, asserting that she is keeping her "struggling" current husband in the race because "she wants to be president now."

“The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way. She’s matriculated into a completely different woman,” Stevenson told The Post.

“I just don’t understand why she is so adamant about defending him and keeping him in the race since it appears that he’s struggling. It appears that he’s struggling with everybody these days. I’ve been proud of her at certain moments. I have no hard feelings,” Stevenson added.

“I’m just surprised to see her front and center in the middle of this battle after flying under the radar for so many years. She’s always been very driven. People say she’s the one who wants to be president now,” Stevenson continued.

Stevenson declared: “It makes me cringe every time he calls Trump a liar because I’m telling you right now, there is no better liar than President Biden. He’s just a bad person. I’m probably one of the few people outside his family who has known him for 50 years.”

“Look, I’m not a doctor or a psychiatrist, but yeah, I felt he lost a step three or four years ago. Now I think it’s more like a couple of steps. Do I feel badly for him? No, because he did some horrible things to me and my family,” Stevenson said.

Indeed, the First Lady’s influence within her husband’s administration and campaign has noticeably increased.

Some observers noted that Jill Biden's manner of speaking to the president in a widely circulated video seemed reminiscent of how a mother would address a young child, suggesting she is aware of his cognitive struggles.

Despite facing harsh criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his performance in the first presidential debate, Jill Biden praised President Joe Biden on Thursday night.

At the debate after-party, Jill Biden welcomed her husband on stage, seemingly pleased with his ability to answer basic questions.

“Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question, you knew all the facts!” Jill Biden cheered for a smiling Joe Biden on stage.

“And let me ask the crowd. What did Trump do?” the first lady continued, turning to the audience and gesturing before shouting, “Lie!”

The video has since gone viral, with many commenting on Jill Biden’s praise resembling that of encouraging a child.

The media landscape has reacted strongly to President Joe Biden’s performance during the CNN Presidential Debate, with critiques ranging from “dismal” to outright calls from the left for him to withdraw from the 2024 race.

Biden's debate performance has sparked discussions about whether the presumed Democratic nominee should step aside to allow for a new candidate to be chosen at an August convention.
