Washington.- The President of the United States, Donald Trump, criticized this Friday former First Lady Jill Biden for not having helped her husband, Joe Biden, when he believed that he was suffering a "stroke" during the 2024 presidential debate.
The Republican's words come after the former first lady revealed in an interview that, upon seeing Biden's poor performance during the televised debate with Trump, she was frightened to think that something bad was happening to him. "She says she thought he was suffering a 'stroke' and other very serious things, and yet she never went on stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would," she wrote on the Truth Social network.You may be interested in: Trump says negotiations with Iran are "progressing favorably"
Trump added that "the only thing he didn't mention was how well" he was doing against Biden's "almost total collapse." In an interview with CBS on Wednesday, Jill Biden explained that when she was watching the debate she was frightened by her husband's poor performance, who appeared at times incoherent and disoriented, and even thought he was having a stroke. "I was scared because I had never ever seen Joe like that. Neither before... nor after. I've never seen him like that since then. I don't know what happened. I mean, when I saw him, as I watched him, I thought: 'My God, he's having a stroke!', and that scared me incredibly," she explained. Biden's poor performance in that debate, which coincided with growing doubts about his ability to remain in office, triggered pressures within the Democratic Party that led to the decision of the then-president, who was 81 years old, to renounce his re-election campaign and pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, who ended up losing at the polls to Trump.
