Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Reveals What He REALLY Thinks About Encouraging Joe to Stay in the Presidential Race

Jill Biden’s ex-husband has criticized the First Lady for encouraging Joe to stay in the election following his disastrous debate performance.

Bill Stevenson, 75, said The New York Post He ‘just now [doesn’t] “Understand why ‘his ex-wife’ is so adamant about defending him and keeping him in the race because it looks like he’s going through a tough time.”

‘The Dr. Jill Biden who I have seen on TV for the past five years is not the same person I married or recognize in any way,” said Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975.

“She’s turned into a completely different woman,” he continued.

“It seems like he’s in trouble with everyone these days,” he said of the president, whom he previously accused of having an affair with Jill while they were still married.

Bill Stevenson, 75, made the statement Saturday, following the president’s troubling performance during the debate.

He was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975 and had some not so kind words about his “struggling” replacement who married Jill two years later

“I watched Jill grow up,” he continued of his ex-wife, who Joe reportedly met in 1975 on a blind date arranged by his brother Frank.

‘I have been proud of her at certain times. I have no grudges,” he said, now with a family of his own.

“I’m just surprised to see her in the middle of this fight after flying under the radar for so many years.

“She’s always been very driven,” he added of his first wife, who began a career in education a year after meeting Joe.

“People are saying she’s the one who wants to be president now,” he continued, as the idea of ​​replacements like California’s Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris brings new credibility.

Speaking to The New York Post, the Delaware native joined a chorus of countless others in calling on the sitting president to step down

Seen here with his former wife in the 1970s, Stevenson previously claimed that the relationship between Jill and the then-juror senator began as an affair, as Democrats continue to ponder the possibility of a last-minute replacement

His interview ended there and was apparently a response to reports aired hours earlier showing the first lady under fire for refusing to advise her current husband to call it quits.

‘A lot of people blame his wife… for not telling him. [to step aside],” one Democratic donor frustrated with Biden’s tepid performance during the debate told the Post.

On Friday, the former teacher was mercilessly mocked for claiming at a meeting that her husband was doing exceptionally well – and had “answered all the questions” he was asked.

Insiders have since said her opinion is one of the most valued in the president’s inner circle — and The New York Times reported that she privately dismissed Biden’s bumbling confrontation with his longtime rival as just “a bad night.”

During the bad night she mentioned, the Democratic Party’s top candidate for the Oval Office repeatedly stumbled over his words and continually lost his train of thought, raising questions about whether he is mentally fit for another four years.

On Saturday, those fears were further heightened when The Times reported that Several Silicon Valley “megadonors” tried to convince the first lady her to convince Biden to bow out in favor of a younger candidate — efforts that were apparently unsuccessful.

Biden, 81, doubled down on his debate performance the day before, at a rally in North Carolina, where he said he was still the party’s best bet to beat Trump.

‘I know I am not a young man, I do not walk as easily as I used to, I do not speak as smoothly as I used to, I do not argue as well as I used to,’

His interview appeared to be a response to reports that had aired hours earlier indicating that the First Lady was under fire for refusing to advise her current husband to call it quits after his lackluster performance during Friday’s presidential debate.

“But I know what I do know,” he continued, to thunderous applause. “I know how to tell the truth. I know what’s right and wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done.”

“I know, as many Americans know, that when you get knocked down, you get back up,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the New York Times implored Biden in an editorial to step aside.

“There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling, and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency,” the report said.

“There is no reason for the party to risk the country’s stability and security by forcing voters to choose between Mr. Trump’s shortcomings and those of Mr. Biden.”

Concerned staffers subsequently told Axios that Biden is often too tired to work past 4 p.m. and has trouble waking up before 10 a.m.

“This is no longer about Joe Biden’s family or his emotions,” one particularly frustrated adviser in contact with the White House told the publication. ‘This is about our country. It’s a complete f***ing disaster that needs to be addressed.”

Experts, meanwhile, have said it would be virtually impossible for Democrats to impeach a reluctant Biden this late in the game, and that the decision ultimately rests with the president.

Referring to Biden’s team’s current thought process, one Democratic donor told Politico, “They say, ‘We just had one bad night’… what they’re missing, a critical point they’re missing, is that this isn’t just one bad night. This is not fixable.”

In the meantime, speculation revolves not only around the prospect of a late-stage replacement, but also around the idea that Democratic donors could pull funding if they feel there is no hope for a Biden victory.

“The biggest problem is the donors,” another source told Politico. “If the money dries up, everyone panics.”

Stevenson has since portrayed Biden and his family as crooked, with the president specifically being a professional liar.

“I cringe every time he calls Trump a liar, because I’m telling you right now: There is no better liar than President Biden,” Stevenson told The Post.

‘He’s just a bad person. I’m probably one of the few people outside of his family who has known him for fifty years.”

At the time of writing, Biden has not indicated any plans to drop out of the race.
