Jill Biden Revisits Theory That Husband Might Have Been Drugged Before 2024 Debate

On a recent podcast, former first lady Jill Biden was asked whether doctors had ruled out a stroke for Joe Biden on the night of the 2024 debate, and she confirmed they had. She said she observed him looking exhausted and felt uneasy, but could not pinpoint a cause, citing possibilities such as travel fatigue or even his drink being laced. Jill referenced her memoir, where she described fearing a stroke during the debate.

The former president's office has not replied to inquiries. Party figures like former spokesperson Andrew Bates criticized the memoir tour for reopening painful topics, while political scholar Matt Dallek said the focus on past events may distract Democrats from current challenges.
