The Claire Byrne Show · An insight into Jill Biden's new memoir · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

She later said in an interview that she thought it was specifically that he might have been having a stroke.

And a lot of Democrats are now saying, well, why is there such a discrepancy between what you're saying now that you felt at the time and how the reaction was?

And I'm not just talking about in the immediate aftermath of the debate.

You're not going to.

And I can understand and I can appreciate as a wife, you're not going to get out there publicly and say it was a bad night.

However, we do have to remember that there was nearly a month that went by of them hanging on and saying, I'm staying in the race.

I'm going to run.

I can do a second term in office.

before he ultimately, after a lot of pressure from Democrats,

stepped out of the race.

And so there's a lot of anger of saying, you know, you told us everything was fine and it clearly wasn't.

Look, I think the overall theme, what I came away from the book here is thinking the overall theme here is a marriage of a lot of love, but I think a lot of naivety as well.

And they seem to prioritize, the Biden family seems to be very tight knit, but they seem to prioritize loyalty over everything else.

And, you know, Jill Biden does do some retrospective thinking and she, you know, she does look and say,

was this a case that people were scared to tell us the truth?

Was I actually able to objectively look and be clear in my thoughts about my husband's ability or his aging?

She talks a lot about how he had, you know,

declined physically, but not mentally.

And she's very clear in saying that.

I think what was really interesting is that in the interview, and this isn't in the book, but in the interview, the first interview she did about this book, she says about the debate, she says, look, that was the first time I had seen him like that.
