Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for Trump 2024, suggests that First Lady Jill Biden should be held accountable for “elder abuse” for allegedly allowing her husband, President Joe Biden, to continue in his role despite what Leavitt perceives as a noticeable decline in his mental acuity.
Concerns about President Biden’s ability to serve as commander-in-chief have been raised following a poorly received presidential debate in June.
“The majority of the American public agree with that. Jill Biden doesn’t because, I guess, she doesn’t want to be a loving wife and go take care of her husband in Delaware, which is what she should be doing,” Leavitt said.
“And I think the media, it’s time for them to finally step up after they’ve been complicit in this cover-up by the Democrat Party over the last four years and ask really tough questions of Jill Biden and of the Biden family about what they know about our president’s state. Clearly, Jill Biden obviously knows her husband better than anyone else in this country, in this world, and she too continues to lie to the American people. It really is shameful. She’s been engaging in elder abuse, and she should be held accountable for that,” Leavitt added.

According to sources who spoke to NBC News, there was mounting anger and frustration within President Biden’s inner circle after a poor debate performance and a drop in polling. NBC News reported that Biden felt isolated, frustrated, and angry, believing that he had been betrayed by allies who turned on him in his time of need. The report also said that multiple advisers warned Biden that he had no path to victory.
Former White House official Cedric Richmond said, “It became a no-win situation, a self-fulfilling prophecy.” He also mentioned that without money and support, it was impossible to win. Additionally, loyalists to Biden were frustrated that some members of the Democratic Party called on him to step aside instead of rallying behind him.
Biden has not been seen in public since last week and has not been seen since he announced via social media that he would end his reelection bid. His recent call to Vice President Harris’ headquarters to offer support for her candidacy has triggered new health concerns and conspiracy theories.
