Dr. Jill Biden: The Hardest Moments No One Saw (The Untold Story of the White House Years)
What was said
"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?'"
The former First Lady revealed her raw fear watching from the green room during Joe Biden's disastrous 2024 debate performance, genuinely believing he might be suffering a medical emergency when he froze on stage. After the debate, Biden told her directly, "I really effed up, didn't I?" to which she responded, "Yeah, Joe, you did."
