The piece also points out that questions about Biden\u2019s cognitive fitness existed before that debate-for exmaple referencing special counsel Robert Hur\u2019s remarks during the 2024 classified documents investigation.<\/p>\n<p>it claims Democrats have continued to wrestle with the fallout from the debate and Trump\u2019s subsequent electoral win, mentioning later memoirs and reporting about the campaign\u2019s decline, while also asserting that Trump already held polling advantages around the time of the debate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In her new memoir, \u201cView from the East Wing,\u201d former First Lady Jill Biden recalled affirming her husband\u2019s blunt assessment of his disastrous 2024 debate performance against now-President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really f***ed up, didn\u2019t I?\u201d then-President Joe Biden whispered to his wife shortly after the debate. \u201cYes, you did,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p>That revelation appeared in a review of the memoir by Toluse Olorunnipa of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/jill-biden-stroke-debate-reaction\/687339\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Atlantic<\/a>.
