Since the political collapse of Joe Biden on the presidential debate stage at the CNN studio on June 27, leftist media and many other Democrats have called for Biden to drop out from this year’s presidential race for the Oval Office. But more unwilling than Biden is the one who is seemingly calling the shots in Biden’s presidential bid – his wife Jill.
Critics of the Bidens have continuously slammed Jill Biden since her husband ran for the White House in 2020 because Joe’s senility was on display back then. Over the last three-and-a-half years, Jill has been routinely observed handling Joe Biden, leading him off the stage and redirecting him to proper positions in public events. At the end of the debate on the night of June 27, Trump walked off the stage like a healthy person while Jill was seen walking a slow and feeble Joe off the stage by his arm.
Immediately after the debate ended, the same leftist opinion-makers who had ignored Joe Biden’s senility and shielded him from criticism all along started to sing a completely different tune. They called his performance dismal and suggested the race is over for him so he should quit in favor of some other Democrat who can really lead. Skeptics of the media speculated that it was all planned as a coordinated effort to end Biden’s presidential bid.
While Biden seemed to be ready to go home and sleep for a few days, Jill quickly sprang into action, or rather reaction, over the media’s instant push for ending Biden’s candidacy.
A day after the debate, she put Biden on a leash and paraded him in front of a liberal audience in his first post-debate rally in Raleigh, NC. Her enthusiastic lead to sell Joe as an animal still strong enough to do the circus shows was noticed all around while many Democrats questioned Joe’s strength. Jill is clearly not willing to leave the White House so easily. But doesn’t dragging Joe around for another term so she can enjoy the First Lady privileges count as elder abuse?
In the opinion of many, it does, and this includes Jill Biden’s former husband Bill Stevenson. On Saturday (June 29), Stevenson told the New York Post that Jill has always been “very driven” and in the public’s opinion, it’s her who wants Joe to be president now. Stevenson said:
“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.”
On Friday (June 30), Daily Mail reported that Democrat donors and insiders are angry at Jill Biden for not letting her husband drop out of the race. And while they are not accusing Jill of elder abuse, some Republicans are:
Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wy.) slammed the first lady for ‘rolling President Biden out on stage to engage in a battle of wits while unarmed.’
Vince Langman, a popular conservative voice on social media, posted a video clip of Jill Biden’s speech in Raleigh and commented that Jill Biden is a monster to drag Joe on the campaign trail in his condition.
The White House ambitions of Jill Biden aside, another Biden has high stakes in securing four more years for Joe – his son Hunter Biden who is a convicted felon and facing more criminal charges in the coming days. On Monday, Newsweek reported that Hunter has asked his father not to drop out. The story wrote:
According to the AP, Hunter and Jill Biden have both been among the strongest voices in urging the president to stay in the race.
In 2022, multiple media reports revealed that Hunter Biden scolded Jill in abusive terms in a text message to his sister-in-law Hallie with whom he was sexually involved. Hunter texted Hallie in 2018:
“F**k my step mother for always being as much of a selfish silly entitled c**t as you.”
