Even though he didn’t care for Joe Biden, Bill Stevenson supported Jill Biden’s hope to fill the first lady position. In the Daily Mail interview, he expressed complete faith in her abilities to help lead the country. But Jill’s ex didn’t like the transformation he watched her undergo during her time in the White House. “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,” he told the New York Post in June 2024. “She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.”
Like 60% of U.S. voters, Stevenson believes Joe demonstrated he isn’t fit to run for office. After watching the debate, he became convinced the president has lost considerable mental fitness throughout his term. “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,” he said. But he can’t sympathize, as he still resents the president for what went down during his divorce. “He did some horrible things to me and my family,” he said.
Following the debate backlash and calls for Joe to end his re-election bid, Jill became one of his strongest defenders. “[We] will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president,” she told Vogue for her July 2024 cover story. “We will continue to fight.”
