Jill Biden appeared on The Jamie Kern Lima Show to defend her husband&#8217;s decision, claiming he stepped aside due to a poor debate performance and media pressure, rather than heroism. Concha countered that Biden&#8217;s debate performance in June 2024 was frail, contributing to his decision to withdraw in July, and argued that Biden\u2019s earlier health issues indicated he should have resigned earlier-possibly in 2022 or 2023. He also expressed strong opinions against Biden running in 2020 and 2024, viewing his candidacies as mistakes influenced by Jill Biden. additionally, a social media post noted Biden&#8217;s support for Kamala Harris as the party&#8217;s nominee. Concha dismissed biden&#8217;s exit as unheroic,criticizing what he sees as Biden&#8217;s declining mental state and suggesting he was pushed into running by his wife.  <\/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\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> slammed former first lady <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jill-biden\/\">Jill Biden<\/a> for calling her husband, former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\">Joe Biden<\/a>, \u201cheroic\u201d for dropping out of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-election\/\">2024 presidential election.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat was not heroic; it was cowardly.
