As explained in “2024,” West Wing staff were surprised when Jill Biden arrived at trial. Most senior aides did not believe that the First Lady would be present and made clear their willingness to act independently.

Biden struggled to successfully defend his debate performance as his donors and Democrat politicians are tired, and “my husband revealed in the battle of his political life. Democrats had to stick with Joe,” the author said.
After the discussion, the Bidens took a pre-planned family trip to Camp David.
“The president didn’t enjoy the idea of ​​dropping out of the race. He knew how bad things really were,” the author said of Biden’s trip to Camp David.
