The June 2024 presidential debate ended Joe Biden’s political career. Two years later, Jill Biden has written a book about watching it happen in real time. Trump has already responded, and his biggest complaint is that she did not give him enough credit.
In View from the East Wing, Jill Biden describes sitting through the debate and wondering what exactly she was watching unfold on stage. “Is he short-circuiting? Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?” she writes.
She later told CBS News: “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.” The memoir also reveals that Joe Biden walked backstage afterward and asked her whether he had “really f****d up.”
Trump read those passages and reached a conclusion centered mostly on himself.

“The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He then revisited a question that has clearly stayed with him since that night in Atlanta.
“In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple ‘choke,’ leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!”
That was not the only part that caught Trump’s attention. He also questioned why Jill Biden did not physically step in during the debate itself.
“She said that she thought he was having a ‘stroke,’ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do,” Trump wrote.

The strange part is that Jill Biden still says she cannot fully explain what happened that night.
“To this day, I still don’t know what happened,” she writes in the memoir. “Why wasn’t he making any sense? It was inexplicable to me.” She also writes that Biden “lost the essence of who he was” during the debate and argued that “his opponent lied more than a hundred times, but that didn’t matter.”
