As Democrats reel from their historic defeat in the 2024 election, much of the blame is being heaped on Joe Biden for stubbornly seeking re-election, only to withdraw months before Election Day. However, former CNN analyst Chris Cillizza is pointing the finger at someone even closer to the Joe—Jill Biden.
In a recent segment highlighted by the Daily Caller, Cillizza didn’t mince words: “It seems to me that Jill Biden bears at least some, if not a significant chunk, of the blame for what happened with her husband and Democrats in the 2024 election.” According to Cillizza, Jill Biden was the driving force behind Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term, despite widespread concerns over his age and declining mental fitness.
Let’s be honest—this isn’t a shock. Reports dating back to 2023 detailed how Jill Biden pushed her husband to stay in the race, brushing off serious concerns about his stamina and mental sharpness. After Biden’s disastrous June 27th debate against President-elect Trump, when Biden appeared confused and detached, Jill reportedly dismissed it as a “brief blip” and doubled down on keeping him in the race.
Cillizza called out Jill Biden for allowing personal loyalty to override sound political judgment: “It is extremely hard for me to believe that Jill Biden, Joe Biden’s spouse, never saw her husband in a state of confusion or a fog, like we saw him display during the June 27th debate. She’s with him virtually every day.” Exactly. If voters could see Biden’s decline on national television, how could Jill Biden not? Or worse—she did, and she ignored it.
Jill’s influence over Joe Biden’s political decisions has been well-documented. Politico even reported that Jill became her husband’s “final gut check,” effectively serving as his closest political adviser. But pushing him to run again wasn’t just misguided—it was catastrophic for the Democratic Party. Jill Biden wasn’t acting as a political strategist; she was acting as a protective spouse. That’s understandable in private life but unacceptable when the stakes involve the leadership of the free world.
Democrats are waking up to the reality that Jill Biden’s blind loyalty and political overreach may have cost them the presidency. And while Joe Biden will face scrutiny for his failed campaign, Jill Biden’s role in this political disaster is finally getting the attention—and the blame—it deserves.
