The Four-Year Question Jill Biden Couldn’t Answer

Former first lady Jill Biden on Tuesday shrugged when asked whether her husband would’ve been physically capable of serving another four years, despite her efforts to keep his re-election campaign alive.

The 74-year-old’s media tour for “View from the East Wing: A Memoir” seeks to revisit the final chapter of Joe Biden’s presidency, his health, and the last-minute campaign to force him off the Democratic ticket.

“Had he been elected again, would he have been able to serve as president? Would he have had to resign?” MS NOW host Jonathan Lemire pressed Biden.

Jill Biden replied: “I don’t know the answer to that.”

During a Tuesday interview on “The View,” Biden suggested she did not have a blind spot regarding her husband’s cognitive decline and said no one had warned her about his advanced age.

“You know, you’re saying many aides saw this. No one ever came to me and said, Jill, you know, Joe’s aging or something’s wrong. So when I saw that, I mean, no doctors came to me and said that, and Joe, like I said, you said, has a whole team of doctors around,” she said. 

Over the weekend, Biden blamed the White House health care team for failing to detect Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer earlier.

“Well, you know, the doctors said that according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don’t need a PSA, a blood test anymore because it’s a slow-growing cancer. I have to say, Rita, I do feel we had amazing care in The White House, but somehow that was missed,” she replied.

“So you’re a little bit tense when it comes to his health, huh?” Braver pressed.

“I don’t know if the word is ‘tense,’ but I think I’m vigilant,” Jill Biden replied.

The former first lady also recently revealed that she had worried that her husband might have been having a stroke during his debate with President Donald Trump.

In a Truth Social post, Trump called the former first lady’s bluff, arguing she should have rushed out onto the stage to help him if she was concerned. 

“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,” he said.

In the same interview, Jill Biden insisted Joe was best suited to beat Trump in the November 2024 election. 

“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election,” she said, adding the couple had confidence in Kamala Harris.

“Joe and Kamala, me, Doug, I thought we were a great team. We chose Kamala, or Joe chose Kamala to be VP, and so we were supportive of her,” she said. “And look, when Joe, when Joe got out, he handed over the reins to Kamala. He had full confidence in her. 

“I went out on the road a lot, a lot for Kamala, and honestly, I truly believed she was going to win,” Biden added.
