Jill Biden dismisses Democrats’ infighting concerns: ‘Things are going to move forward’

Former first lady Jill Biden waved away Democrats’ concerns that her new memoir is setting off a wave of backward-looking infighting, insisting that the party is moving on from the 2024 election.

“Democrats have a great future,” she said in an interview on Monday on NBC’s “Today,” when asked if she was “reopening old wounds” with her tour. “We’re looking forward to winning the midterms. Things are going to move forward. … And yes, we’re going to look back and learn from the mistakes we made.”

Jill Biden is on tour promoting her new memoir, which has become the latest headache for Democrats. Some Democrats privately say Jill Biden’s return to the public eye is a “distraction” that risks relitigating a painful election for the party when it should instead be focused on winning in the future.

In her book, she opens up about then-President Joe Biden’s disastrous, career-ending debate in 2024. She was “frightened” watching her husband on stage, and feared he was having a medical episode of sorts.

Her confession hasn’t landed well with fellow Democrats and former White House aides, given her relentless defense of Joe Biden at the time.

“I had to lift him up [after the debate]. I’m his wife,” she told NBC. “I’m not going to get out on the stage there and say, ‘Joe, you really screwed that up.’”

The press tour comes as Democrats are still reeling from their long-awaited autopsy of the 2024 presidential election. Its botched, typo-ridden release failed to explain Democrats’ defeat — and skipped over the former president’s age — but did spark a fresh round of party infighting.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will pass a last-minute law allowing pubs to remain open and keep doling out the booze during England’s next World Cup match in the early hours of Monday morning.

His local government secretary, Steve Reed, had been urging councils to allow the move, but some were still holding out.

After pressure from opposition lawmakers in the House of Commons Thursday, Starmer announced pubs will be able to remain open until 5 a.m. U.K. time — with the government tweaking licensing rules on Friday so establishments don’t need to ask local councils first.

“Football might be coming home but we’re making sure fans don’t have to,” Starmer said.
