Following President Joe Biden’s controversial debate performance, critics have not only targeted the President but also first lady Jill Biden. Bill Stevenson, who was married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975, suggests that the first lady is the primary force behind her husband’s ongoing campaign.
Stevenson noted a significant change in Jill Biden over the years. “The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way,” he stated. “She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.”
The first lady’s defense of the President’s debate performance has raised eyebrows. “Joe, you did such a great job,” she said, despite widespread criticism and calls for Biden to drop out of the race due to his apparent cognitive struggles.
Stevenson expressed his confusion over Jill Biden’s steadfast support for the President’s campaign. “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,” Stevenson remarked. He speculated that it might not be President Biden who is eager to stay in the race. “People say she’s the one who wants to be president now.”
While Stevenson was cautious in his criticism of his ex-wife, he was more candid about his feelings towards President Biden. “It makes me cringe every time he calls Trump a liar because I’m telling you right now, there is no better liar than President Biden,” he asserted. “He’s just a bad person. I’m probably one of the few people outside his family who has known him for 50 years.”
Stevenson’s remarks add a new layer to the growing calls for Biden to reconsider his re-election bid. Various political commentators and analysts have pointed to Biden’s debate performance as indicative of his declining abilities.
With prominent newspapers and political figures urging Biden to “pass the torch,” the debate has sparked renewed discussions about the viability of his campaign. Stevenson’s insights provide a unique personal perspective on the first lady’s influence and her role in the President’s political decisions.
As the debate over President Biden’s future continues, Stevenson’s comments highlight the complexities and personal dynamics at play in the ongoing political saga.
