The political increase of First Lady Jill Biden coincided with the end of her husband’s political career, according to a new book on the way the president Joe Biden Lost the White House.

One year after the performance of Biden’s consecutive debates, the first age of the Octogenarian president inspired the investigations and books of the Congress detailing his alleged cognitive decline.

“2024: How Trump took over the White House and Lost America Democrats”, is the last to tackle the interior functioning of the Biden administration.

The book, published Tuesday by journalists Josh Dawsey of the Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of the New York Times and Isaac Arnsdor of the Washington Post, details the influential role that Jill Biden played in the administration of her husband.

While Jill Biden obtained a political influence, Anthony Bernal, the chief of staff of the First Lady and principal advisor and assistant to the president.

In the political rise of Jill Biden in the middle of her husband’s cognitive decline: the book

He was assigned to testify on July 16 after refusing to appear before the committee investigating the alleged concealment of the mental decline of Biden, which argued that the executive privilege did not apply to him.

According to the book, Bernal accused Anita Dunn, a veteran political strategist democratic which served in the administrations of Biden and Obama, of being unfair to put pressure for more transparency with regard to the Biden family.

There was an “almost total ban” to discuss Hunter Biden, journalists wrote in their new book, while the federal trial of Hunter fell in the middle of the re -election campaign of his father in June 2024.

Jill Biden, with Bernal by his side, tried to attend the federal trial of Hunter Biden, often traveling long distances from trips abroad or campaign events.

She attended the first three days of the trial, flew to France to join the president during the commemoration of D -Day, then returned to Wilmington less than 24 hours later for the fifth day of the trial.

As described in “2024”, West Wing employees were surprised when Jill Biden arrived at the trial. Most higher aid did not know that the first lady planned to attend, revealing her willingness to act independently.

But while Jill Biden demonstrated his independence from the White House, Bernal was there with her at the head of the east wing.

“He quickly got linked with Jill Biden and never left his side, becoming flawless towards her and using her proximity to her to exercise power wherever he had decided. He was often not clear if the opinion he expressed was his or the first lady. Sometimes, when donors or voters asked him questions, Bernal would jump to answer,” said the authors.

Just as Jill jill jumped Hunter’s defense during her high -level trial, she became the president’s greatest supporter following her disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump.

“Joe is not only the right person for the position,” said the First Lady during a fundraising shortly after the debate. “He’s the only person for work.”

The book alleys that Jill Biden had always played the “role of the protective spouse, encouraging the president to eat vegetables, keeping him in time and questioning the staff members when she felt having made a mistake.”

In one of these cases in January 2022, aid from Biden apologized to the First Lady when she asked why they allowed a press conference to continue for too long, according to the book.

While Biden had a hard time defending his debate performance, with donors and more and more tired Democratic politicians, and “her husband in the struggle of his political life, Jill did clearly: the Democratic Party had to stick to Joe,” said the authors.

After the debate, the Bidens made a pre-Planified family trip to Camp David.

“The president does not entertain the idea of ​​abandoning the race; he took stock of the gravity of things,” the authors told Biden’s trip to Camp David.

The authors described how abandonment “was not even a consideration” at Camp David, and how the first lady was one of those in the inner family circle who persuaded Biden to stay in the race, despite the growing pressure of party leaders and donors to resign.

Biden huddles with his family in Camp David in the last days of June, then appeared for interviews with the control of debate on the network network in the following weeks, referring to the debate as a bad night and blaming a cold for his night.

“Biden also admitted that he needed more sleep and said that he had told his staff that he should not participate in events that start after 8 pm, but his message was clear: he was staying in the race,” said the authors.

Fox News Digital wrote in a largely returning to the 2020 presidential campaign on the cognitive decline of Biden and his inner circle alleged role in covering it.
