'Why so adamant': Ex-husband of Jill Biden slams her for 'pushing' Biden to stay in the presidential race

Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975 questioned, why the First Lady is so adamant about still keeping US President Joe Bide in the race

US President Jill Biden is being criticised for her steadfast support of her husband President Joe Biden amid brewing concerns over his age. One of her major critics in this regard was none other than her ex-husband, Bill Stevenson. Things became rough for the Biden campaign after the POTUS gave a lacklustre performance in his first 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Stevenson slammed Jill for keeping the 81-year-old Biden in the race, despite the fact that he was seen “struggling” throughout the campaign. “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,” Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975 told The New York Post . “She’s matriculated into a completely different woman," he added. J ill’s ex-husband remains a Trump supporter 75-year-old Stevenson of Delaware claimed that he continues to remain a proud supporter of Trump. The ex-husband of the FLOTUS has been very vocal about his support for Trump and has referred to the First Family as “the Biden crime family”. “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,” Stevenson averred. “It appears that he’s struggling with everybody these days.” He went on to mention that he has watched 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," Stevenson told The New York Post . Stevenson once supported Biden Interestingly, Stevenson, who remarried and has a family of his own, once supported Biden when he ran as vice president with former President Barack Obama. Stevenson even supported the American Commander-in-Chief when he ran for the US Senate in 1972. However, when Biden was named as the 2020 presidential nominee from the democratic party, Stevenson alleged that Jill and the then-junior senator’s relationship began as an affair. “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,” Stevenson said in a recent interview. “He’s just a bad person. I’m probably one of the few people outside his family who has known him for 50 years," he furthered. Stevenson is about to self-publish a second tome, titled “The Bidens: The Early Years”. While it won’t cover the President’s present journey, the ex-husband of Jill said that he has lots to say about Biden’s current state of mind. “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," he concluded.
