What did wife Jill say to Joe Biden after the debate?

President Joe Biden was greeted by a cheering crowd after Thursday’s debate at a hotel in Downtown Atlanta. His number one supporter, First Lady Jill Biden, did as would be expected and praised his performance even though the general view was that he had a terribly poor showing against his opponent former President Donald Trump.

On stage with her husband, Jill Biden said to room full of supporters “Didn’t the president do a great job? Yes!” To which the crowd began chanting “four more years!”

Then turning to the president said, “Joe you did such a great job. You answered every question, you knew all the facts.”

“What did Trump do?” she asked, looking out at the crowd. “Lie!” the room shouted as one.

Joe Biden regains voice and acknowledges weak debate performance says: “When you get knocked down, you get back up.”

While that cheerleading from the First Lady may have been to help her husband feel better if he hadn’t already realized the panic that was racing through Democratic strategists about Biden’s chances of beating Trump in November, the following day the president acknowledged the facts.

At the end of a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Biden had regained the voice and energy that was lacking at the debate, he told the crowd, “Folks, let me close with this. I know I’m not a young man, to state the obvious.”

“I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t talk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth,” he continued, pausing while the people at the rally roared with cheers.

“I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. And I know what millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up!”

Despite the numerous calls for Biden to step aside with the hopes that another replacement candidate would have a better chance at beating Trump, many prominent Democrats and his surrogates have strongly restated their support for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Former President Obama posted his own message of support saying, “Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” he posted on X. “Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”
