Jill Biden says she was shocked by Kamala Harris’ loss to Donald Trump.
Former front-runner Jill Biden said she was so sure Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election and beat Donald Trump that she was shocked when it didn’t happen. As she claimed in a new CBS News interview with Rita Braver ahead of the release of her memoir, Scenes from the East Wing, Braver was pleasantly surprised.
“I was?” – asked Shuja. “The excitement for her and the crowd, I mean how people rallied around her, and I really felt like she was going to win,” Jill Biden said. “I was shocked she didn’t win, because I think she would make a good president.”Jill Biden and Kamala Harris were not known to be good friends.In her memoir, due out tomorrow (June 2), Jill Biden writes that she knew something was wrong when she watched Joe Biden struggle in the presidential debate.
“Is this a stroke?” Jill asked as she watched TV in a waiting room near the CNN studio where President Biden faced Donald Trump in June 2024. “It felt like we were watching a hologram of the man we know with artificial intelligence, and the hologram was glitched.
Was he drugged?” Jill wrote that she never knew what happened that night. Perhaps he was given Ambien or codeine cough syrup to treat a persistent cough while returning home from Europe and was feeling side effects.“In that debate, Joe lost himself,” Jill wrote in her memoir.
“He lost the essence of his identity. He didn’t speak from the heart. His opponent lied more than a hundred times, but that didn’t matter.”Joe Biden was also aware of the disaster he had created. As they walked off the set that night, Joe Biden whispered, “I really messed up, didn’t I?” “Yes, I did,” Jill said.Jill noted that she would leave inspirational or candid notes for her husband during his presidency, including, “You are my hero” and “Stand up, hero. Stand up.” She even recalled writing him notes about foreign policy, such as “The Internet must stop” or “Be strong, don’t let the National Front use your kindness,” referring to Benjamin Netanyahu.
