Dr. Jill Biden: The Hardest Moments No One Saw (The Untold Story of the White House Years)
"When I saw that moment when Joe kind of froze, I thought, 'Oh my God, is he having a stroke?' And I was scared to death. I was sitting, I got up, I started pacing, like, 'What's happening? What's happening?'"
