Jill Biden said she feared Joe Biden was having a stroke while watching his performance during the June 2024 presidential debate. She described being alarmed and scared by what she believed might be a serious medical episode. Trump responded by mocking her admission and questioning why she did not intervene during the event. He also shifted attention to his own performance, suggesting that his strong showing may have caused Biden to choke. Trump claimed that no one else knows the answer, but he does, and he framed the debate outcome as leading to Biden’s defeat and withdrawal from the race.
"“I mean, as I watched it, I thought, Oh my God, he's having a stroke' and it scared me to death,” she said in an interview set to air on CBS News Sunday Morning."
"Posting to Truth Social on Friday, Trump mocked the former first lady's account of the June 2024 showdown, which intensified concerns about her husband's age and fitness for office, ultimately helping trigger his withdrawal from the presidential race."
"Trump questioned why, then, she did not intervene during the event, as any good wife would do. He then turned focus back to his own showing on stage: “The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse.”"
"“In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause [Biden] to plain and simple choke, leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause?” the president asked. “Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!” he claimed."
