Minutes after a debate performance against Donald Trump that left Democrats in a panic, First Lady Jill Biden rushed to President Biden’s side, helping him walk offstage. Jill’s role in propping up the Biden presidency has come under scrutiny as concerns over his age and fitness for office have been amplified. She has a reputation for shielding her husband from media scrutiny and has even stepped in to preside over events in his place, such as a Pride Month celebration on the White House South Lawn. Conservative critics have attacked Jill for her support of Biden, with some calling her actions monstrous and evil.
Despite the backlash, Jill remains undeterred. She took the stage at Biden’s first post-debate rally in North Carolina, wearing a black dress with the word “vote” emblazoned on it. She defended Biden’s debate performance, calling him a president of integrity and character and accusing Trump of lying. Biden’s staff has been working to prevent mishaps related to his age, such as avoiding a repeat of his hard fall last year caused by tripping on stage. They have taken steps like ensuring Biden wears sneakers with a suit and uses a shorter set of stairs to board Air Force One.
The White House has attempted to dismiss or ignore videos that show Biden’s age, including him wandering away from world leaders at the G7 summit. Critics have highlighted these videos, leading to discussion about Biden’s fitness for office. Some have accused Biden’s inner circle of lying and preventing an orderly process to replace him. Despite this, Biden is scheduled to participate in another debate with Trump on September 10 hosted by ABC, and his team remains adamant that he will participate.
The backlash against Jill Biden has continued, with critics attacking her for enabling Biden’s embarrassing moments and questioning her love for her husband. Figures like Meghan McCain, Clay Travis, and Ben Shapiro have criticized Jill’s actions as first lady. Some have even gone so far as to call her evil for encouraging Biden to continue in office despite concerns about his health and fitness for the role. The debate performance only intensified long-standing concerns about Biden’s age and abilities, leading to increased scrutiny on Jill’s role in supporting him.
As opinions on Biden’s fitness for office continue to be debated, with some questioning his mental acuity and physical health, the spotlight has shifted to Jill Biden’s role in propping up the president. Despite conservative backlash, she remains steadfast in her support, defending Biden’s debate performance and continuing to stand by his side at public events. With another debate on the horizon, the discussion around Biden’s fitness for office is likely to intensify, and Jill’s role in supporting her husband will come under even greater scrutiny in the weeks to come.
