The Bidens are back in the political spotlight, and Democrats hoping to put the past behind them are not happy about it.Former first lady Jill Biden dredged up concerns this week regarding former President Joe Biden‘s health and allegations of a cover-up in clips from a sit-down interview as part of a book tour to promote her upcoming memoir, View from The East Wing.But Jill Biden’s comments about being afraid Joe Biden had a stroke during the 2024 presidential debate that effectively ended his political career come as Democrats contend with a lack of leadership and would rather be underscoring President Donald Trump‘s own issues before November’s midterm elections.
“They suck,” one Democratic strategist told the Washington Examiner of the Bidens.
For another Democratic strategist, Garry South, it is “definitely not helpful” for the Bidens to “resurface” at this point in time.
“It’s particularly unconstructive for Jill Biden to be relitigating the issue of Biden’s decline by basically suggesting he was sharp as a tack until his complete meltdown in the debate, which she says caught her by total surprise,” South told the Washington Examiner. “It just adds to the narrative about a gigantic cover-up in the Biden White House and family to hide his cognitive and physical decline from the American people.”
