In the spring and early summer of 2024, President Donald Trump, then the Republican presidential nominee, held significant polling advantages over then-President Joe Biden.
Nonetheless, in hindsight, former first lady Jill Biden liked her husband’s chances in the 2024 election.
In a Tuesday interview, the former first lady told co-host Willie Geist ofMS NOW’s“Morning Joe” that, in her view, Biden would have gone on to serve a second term had Democrats not forced him out of the race.
“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election,” she said.
Geist, however, had not asked the former first lady’s opinion.
“Does he believe to this day that he would have defeated Donald Trump in that election?” Geist asked in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
At that point, the former first lady gave her response, speaking not for her husband but for herself.
Jill Biden: “I believe [Joe] would have beat Donald Trump in that election.”
