华盛顿——美国前第一夫人吉尔·拜登表示，2024年大选辩论期间，时任总统乔·拜登表现糟糕，随后他退出了总统竞选，当时她以为丈夫“中风了”。
“我吓坏了，因为我之前从来没见过乔那样，之后也没有过，从来没有，”她在将在周日播出的《哥伦比亚广播公司新闻周日早间》专访中说道。
这位前第一夫人表示，丈夫在辩论中的表现“把我吓得要死”。但她当时发表的言论并未反映出她当时真实的担忧。
拜登与当时的共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普于2024年6月27日展开对决，这场辩论本应是11月大选前两人的首次交锋。但这场辩论将外界对拜登竞选能力的质疑以及要求他退选的呼声推向高潮，并最终促成他放弃连任竞选的决定。
当两人出现在亚特兰大的辩论舞台时，拜登的表现令民主党人感到担忧：他声音沙哑，回答问题时磕磕绊绊，时常思路中断，难以清晰表达自己的立场。这位当时81岁的总统在辩论前行程繁忙，其竞选团队将他的表现归咎于感冒。
辩论期间有一段广受诟病的回答环节：拜登在试图就税率和国家债务问题给出连贯回应时卡顿良久，最终只说出了“听着，如果我们最终能击败医疗保险”就中断了。
辩论结束后，吉尔·拜登对支持者表示：“乔，你表现得太棒了。每个问题你都回答了，所有事实你都了如指掌”，并和现场民众一起高呼“再干四年”。随后这对夫妇前往一家华夫饼屋，这位时任总统在店内表示“我觉得我们表现得不错”，还称自己嗓子疼。
辩论结束后的几天里，拜登家族在戴维营聚会。当时一位消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，家族成员都鼓励他继续参选、坚持下去。几天后，《Vogue》杂志刊登了一篇关于第一夫人的封面报道，编者按披露，吉尔·拜登当时在戴维营告诉该杂志，时任总统“不会让那90分钟定义他任职四年的总统生涯”。
“我们会继续战斗，”她补充道，总统“永远会以国家利益为重”。
2024年7月21日，拜登退出竞选，背书副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯接替他成为民主党总统候选人。数月后，吉尔·拜登告诉美国广播公司新闻，他退选是“正确的决定”。
如今，在一场涉及大选、这位前总统以及她即将出版的新书的全面专访中，这位前第一夫人披露了更多她当时对辩论表现的真实反应。
吉尔·拜登表示，她希望通过这本书“澄清”自己担任第一夫人期间的相关情况。

Jill Biden says she thought Joe Biden was “having a stroke” during 2024 debate. Here’s what she said at the time.

Washington — Former first lady Jill Biden said she thought her husband was “having a stroke” during then-President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in the 2024 debate that preceded his departure from the race.
“I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” she said in an interview for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” which will air Sunday.
The former first lady said her husband’s performance in the debate “scared me to death.” But her comments at the time did not reflect what she now says were her concerns.
Biden and then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump faced off on June 27, 2024, in what was expected to be their first debate in the lead up to November’s election. But the debate brought questions over Biden’s ability to stay in the race — and calls for him to step aside — to a fever pitch, and ultimately contributed to his decision to abandon his bid for a second term.
When the pair appeared on the debate stage in Atlanta, Biden alarmed Democrats as he, with a raspy voice, stumbled through many of his answers, often lost his train of thought and struggled to communicate his positions. The president, who was 81 at the time, had a busy travel schedule in the lead up to the debate, and his campaign chalked up his performance to a cold.
During one infamous answer during the debate, Biden struggled to form a coherent response to a question about tax rates and the national debt, before concluding “Look, if we finally beat Medicare.”
Speaking to supporters after the debate, Jill Biden said, “Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question, you knew all the facts,” and she joined the crowd in chanting “four more years.” The couple then made a stop at a Waffle House, where the then-president said “I think we did well” and said he had a sore throat.
In the days following the debate, the Biden family gathered at Camp David, where a source told CBS News at the time that they encouraged him to stay in the race and keep fighting. When a Vogue Magazine cover story on the first lady came out days later, an editor’s note detailed how Jill Biden told the magazine from Camp David that the then-president “will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president.”
“We will continue to fight,” she said, adding the president “will always do what’s best for the country.”
On July 21, 2024, Biden dropped out, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take the spot at the top of the Democratic ticket. Months later, Jill Biden told ABC News his exit was the “right call.”
Now, the former first lady is sharing a fuller picture of her reaction to the debate performance, in a wide-ranging interview on the election, the former president and her forthcoming book.
Jill Biden said she is aiming to “set the record straight” on her time as first lady through the book.
