Jill Biden, the First Lady of the United States, has faced criticism for her unwavering support of her husband, President Joe Biden, amid growing concerns about his age. One of her most vocal critics has been her ex-husband, Bill Stevenson. The Biden campaign encountered difficulties after a lackluster performance by the President in his first 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Stevenson condemned Jill for pushing the 81-year-old Biden to continue his campaign, despite his perceived struggles.
Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975, told The New York Post, “The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way. She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.”
Stevenson, a 75-year-old resident of Delaware, remains a staunch supporter of Trump. He has been outspoken in his support for Trump and has referred to the First Family as “the Biden crime family.”
He expressed his confusion about Jill’s unwavering defense of Biden, stating, “I just don’t understand why she is so adamant about defending him and keeping him in the race since it appears that he’s struggling. It appears that he’s struggling with everybody these days.”
Stevenson acknowledged that he has seen Jill grow over the years and has been proud of her at certain moments. “I’ve been proud of her at certain moments. I have no hard feelings… I’m just surprised to see her front and centre in the middle of this battle after flying under the radar for so many years. She’s always been very driven. People say she’s the one who wants to be president now.”
Interestingly, Stevenson, who has remarried and has a family of his own, once supported Biden when he ran as vice president alongside former President Barack Obama. He even supported Biden during his 1972 campaign for the US Senate. However, when Biden was nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, Stevenson alleged that Jill and the then-junior senator’s relationship began as an affair.
In a recent interview, Stevenson stated, “It makes me cringe every time he calls Trump a liar because I’m telling you right now, there is no better liar than President Biden. He’s just a bad person. I’m probably one of the few people outside his family who has known him for 50 years.”
Stevenson is preparing to self-publish his second book, titled “The Bidens: The Early Years.” While the book won’t cover Biden’s current journey, Stevenson indicated that he has much to say about Biden’s current mental state.
He concluded, “Look, I’m not a doctor or a psychiatrist but yeah, I felt he lost a step three or four years ago. Now I think it’s more like a couple of steps. Do I feel bad for him? No, because he did some horrible things to me and my family.”
