Former first lady Jill Biden said she was "frightened" when watching her husband, former President Joe Biden, in his first and only debate performance during the 2024 presidential election and thought he was having a stroke on stage.

"I wasn’t horrified, I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since, never," Biden said to CBS News Sunday Morning’s Rita Braver in an interview airing Sunday on CBS.
