Jill Biden says president ‘will always do what’s best for the country’ following debate disaster
First lady Jill Biden said President Joe Biden “will always do what’s best for the country” in a conversation with Vogue at Camp David on Sunday.
The conversation with the outlet took place days after the president shocked the political landscape with his performance in the first debate with former President Donald Trump.
Jill Biden added, “They will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president. We will continue to fight.”
Many Democrats have called for Joe Biden to step down and make way for another candidate to take his place amid calls that he may be unfit. However, other Democrats have backed the president again.
The first lady is the subject of the article released as she faces accusations that she’s “keeping him [Joe Biden] in the race.” Many have said Jill Biden’s treatment of the president following the debate was similar to how someone might praise a child when she said, “Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question. You knew all the facts!”
The New York Times reported that Jill Biden and others are urging the president to stay in the race against Trump, even as doubt surges within the Democratic Party. Hunter Biden was reportedly one of the strongest voices telling the president to stay the course, saying he wants “Americans to see the version of his father that he knows, scrappy and in command of the facts, rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.”
The frustration within the Democratic Party will likely shape the presidential race in weeks to come as Republicans look to capitalize off Joe Biden’s debate performance and Democrats look to mitigate damage and assess the future.
