Staff Reports
Jill Biden was right in step with her husband, shuffling off Air Force One for a series of elite campaign stops at Long Island’s swankiest vacation retreats. The first lady didn’t waste any time laying it on thick when she introduced the president at a swanky fundraiser, attempting to rally the troops despite her husband’s recent senior moments in Thursday’s presidential debate. Apparently, Joe isn’t just the right person for the job; he’s the only person for the job, if you ask Jill.
Jill Biden tried to assure donors by saying that anyone can dream up plans, but her husband has executed them with his “judgment,” “experience,” and “relationships with global leaders.” This came right after a catastrophic debate performance that left everyone—from news pundits to everyday voters—questioning if ol’ Joe has the stamina for another term. It seems the first lady has become the president’s top cheerleader, ready to yank him out of the quicksand that was Thursday night’s debacle.
In this high-stakes game where even democracy is supposedly on the line, you have to wonder why someone who champions fair and legal elections would ever pose a threat to democracy, as the president loftily claims. But Jill had no time for such logical conundrums. Less than 24 hours after the debate disaster, she was selling hard in Greenwich Village, ignoring the elephant in the room—which, ironically, might be her husband’s grip on reality.
Speaking of surreal scenarios, Jill resorted to addressing her husband much like one would deal with a feisty toddler or an elderly relative significantly out of their depth. Even when she admitted his subpar debate showing at a LGBTQ fundraiser later in the day, Jill tried to turn the narrative around. According to her, Joe openly acknowledges he’s not a spring chicken anymore and even confided in her that he didn’t feel up to snuff. How reassuring for a nation looking for strong leadership.

Despite these candid moments, Jill’s unflinching spin about Joe’s resilience—he gets knocked down, but he gets up again—seems more like a plea than a boast, especially after an evening where Biden quite literally had trouble staying on his feet. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the first lady might as well be his campaign manager, judging by how often she’s stepping in to save the day. Republican eyes are fixed on her, with many asserting that it’s Jill pulling the strings and not the other way around.
Still, even with Jill’s forceful demeanor and Philly-bred grit, the reality of Biden’s dwindling capabilities can’t be ignored. When Rep. Chip Roy of Texas reposted the video from Thursdays’ debate, asking “Who is the Commander in Chief?” it hit a nerve. This isn’t just a dinner table conversation anymore; it’s a legitimate question echoing through all corners of conservative America.
The real kicker came when Jill, brimming with confidence in February, declared unequivocally that Joe isn’t done and plans to finish what he started. If finishing what he started looks anything like Thursday’s performance, the Democrats better start praying now. Her efforts to stir up energy by claiming Trump was a “threat” to LGBTQ rights fell flat, especially considering Trump’s unprecedented support for the LGBTQ community among GOP presidents.
There’s only so much you can ignore before reality smacks you in the face. Whether it’s a commencement address telling students to brush off doubters or urging voters to “Watch me” when questioned about another term, the glaring truth after Thursday’s debate is impossible to unsee.
