Jill Biden believes her husband would have beaten Trump in 2024

In her new book “View from the East Wing,” Biden shares that she was scared for her husband's health after his final debate performance in 2024. “Let's face it, Joe knew that this was not a good performance,” Biden told Morning Joe. But, she says, doctors cleared her husband after the event and he went on to three others, appearing “like he always was.”
