Former first lady Jill Biden told NBC News she felt she “had to support” President Joe Biden publicly in the wake of his disastrous 2024 debate with Donald Trump, despite acknowledging now that she feared her husband might have been having a stroke.

G. Elliot Morris: “Donald Trump won the ‘tipping-point’ state (the one whose electoral votes push the winner past 270, if you order the states by Democratic/Republican vote margin) by just 1.7 percentage points in 2024. Trump defeated Kamala Harris by just 120,000 votes in Pennsylvania. The excess electoral votes he won in Michigan and Wisconsin were decided by 110,000 votes — a fifth of the size of the smallest state.”

“The problem this presents for election analysts is that every campaign decision becomes potentially decisive for the outcome. There were 152 million votes cast in 2024, but the contest was decided by just 230,000 in those three states above — or 0.15 percent of all voters. When a race is that close, almost anything plausibly mattered.”

The Atlantic reviews Jill Biden’s new memoir and includes this tidbit from the 2024 presidential debate:

“As the president walked off the stage, he whispered to his wife, ‘I really fucked up, didn’t I?’ she writes. ‘Yes, you did,’ I whispered back.”

A new UnidosUS poll finds that 1 in 4 Hispanic Trump voters say they would not vote for him again if given the choice.

Former first lady Jill Biden told CBS News she was “frightened” by her husband Joe Biden’s performance at the 2024 presidential debate with Donald Trump.

Said Biden: “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

DNC Chair Ken Martin disowned the leaked “autopsy report” for the 2024 election calling it not “ready for primetime,” NOTUS reports.

Said Martin: “I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced. After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize.”

CNN obtained and published the report earlier today and then the DNC released it as well.

CNN obtained a copy of a report into why Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election conducted at the request of Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.

Here are the takeaways.

The Washington Post reports the DNC officially released the report once it had leaked to CNN.

“Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) secretly helped a Republican state treasurer’s 2024 reelection bid after the official’s Democratic opponent had criticized Shapiro as a potential VP pick, a close Shapiro ally said last week,” Axios reports.

Former North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) admitted he lied during the final months of his 2024 gubernatorial campaign about his “obsession” with pornography and sex, CNN reports.

Said Robinson: “More than anything, you know, allegations that I watched pornography and was involved with people that watched pornography, and that that was absolutely true.”

“I got probably 85 million votes. They say 78 million, 79 million. They cheated in this election too. It was just too big to rig. They cheated like hell … a Democrats will get 3, 4, 5, 6, and even 7 ballots, and then we’re supposed to win. They’re professional cheaters.”
