Jill Biden says she didn’t create ‘cocoon’ around former president

Former first lady Jill Biden defended herself amid questions over her husband’s fitness for office during the 2024 presidential campaign, saying she didn’t create a “cocoon” around him.

“Naturally, you are your husband’s fiercest advocate and a close adviser, and it’s been reported that you created a sort of cocoon around him and kind of limited his interactions with the media and others,” said “The View” co-host Sara Haines. “Do you think you could have been too close to the situation to objectively gauge whether he could handle a full career?”

“I was with Joe day and night. I saw him more than any other person,” Jill Biden responded. “I woke up with him. I went to bed at night with him. So I saw him all throughout the day, and I did not create a cocoon around him.”

“I mean, you saw him in the Oval Office. You saw him making speeches. He wasn’t hiding somewhere. I didn’t have him, you know, sequestered in some place,” the former first lady added.

She said comparisons to Lady Macbeth and other criticisms were “very hurtful, especially from some of our so-called friends.”

Jill Biden was a fierce defender of her husband as he faced questions along the 2024 campaign trail about his age and fitness to serve another term, particularly following the then-president’s shaky debate performance last summer. She’s also expressed disappointment with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), one of the Democrats who voiced reservations about Joe Biden, over his eventual exit from the presidential race.

The Bidens sat down with “The View” for their first interview together since leaving the White House, as the former president has been slowly stepping back into the spotlight.
