Jill Biden Defends Joe Amid Pressure to Quit; Biden Family Tightens Control

First lady Jill Biden is reportedly furious at those attempting to pressure President Joe Biden to abandon his re-election campaign after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

ABC News' Martha Raddatz revealed that sources within the White House indicated Biden’s close-knit inner circle, including Jill Biden, is adamant he remains in the race. “This of course includes his wife Jill who they said is lashing out at those who want him to get out of the race,” she noted.

Key points to consider:

• The Biden family is moving to consolidate power within the campaign and administration, aiming to counteract those leaking information to the media and undermining the president.

• Hunter Biden's recent participation in White House meetings exemplifies what is anticipated to be a broader family involvement in both the administration and campaign.

• Internal discussions are underway about dismissing certain advisers as the family seeks to deflect blame for Biden’s recent missteps.

A source close to the family told NBC News, “The debate fiasco has opened up a lane for the family to surpass staff and start helping out their father and brother who they love dearly.” This increased involvement, led by Jill and Hunter Biden, aims to prevent the president from withdrawing from the race.

The family is reportedly debating which advisers should be fired in an effort to realign the campaign strategy. "I believe the family has witnessed blunder after blunder by key staff personnel, and the debate is likely the straw that broke the camel’s back,” the source continued. Post-debate, instead of taking responsibility, the staff blamed the president, a move that has significantly agitated the Biden family.

As the Democratic convention approaches, the Biden family’s actions will be critical in shaping the campaign’s future trajectory and addressing internal conflicts.
