First lady Jill Biden assisted her husband Joe Biden off the debate stage Thursday night after a performance that raised even more questions about the president’s fitness for office.
CNN’s cameras captured the 81-year-old president’s wife taking her husband by the hand and slowly leading him down the stage’s three or so steps after his showdown with former President Donald Trump wrapped up.
“Who is the Commander in Chief?” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) wrote on X, sharing a close up view of Jill Biden’s assist, in which the president appeared to be walking quite cautiously down the short stairs.
“Wow. You didn’t have to watch the debate. This says it all,” tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch tweeted.
Joe Biden, the oldest president in American history, repeatedly froze and misspoke during his first debate against the 78-year-old Trump.
