Several sources, including political insiders and family members, said First Lady Jill Biden played a major role in keeping President Joe Biden in the 2024 race before he dropped out in June.
Her ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, told the New York Post that Jill is “not the same person”
he married and claimed she pushed her “struggling” husband to stay in the race because “she wants to be president now.”
Stevenson also criticized Joe Biden’s character and cognitive state, saying he had “lost a step” years ago.
Despite growing concerns, Jill remained publicly supportive until Biden eventually endorsed Kamala Harris, leading a smooth transition with President-elect Donald Trump.
