WASHINGTON, D.C. — A bombshell new book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, has ignited fresh controversy inside the Biden camp. The book details how First Lady Jill Biden’s political ascent has paralleled the stunning decline of her husband’s presidency.

According to the authors — respected journalists from The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times — Jill Biden quietly consolidated influence as President Biden faced growing questions about his cognitive state and political stamina. Behind the scenes, her top aide Anthony Bernal wielded outsized power, often speaking on her behalf and controlling access.The Hunter Biden Trial & Jill’s Fierce Defense
One of the book’s most shocking revelations is Jill Biden’s determination to support her son Hunter during his 2024 federal trial — even skipping key diplomatic events to fly back and forth between Europe and Delaware. West Wing staff were repeatedly blindsided by her appearances, underscoring her independence from White House machinery.

Bernal Under Fire
Bernal, Jill’s longtime confidante, has now been subpoenaed to testify in Congress over the alleged cover-up of President Biden’s mental decline. The book suggests his influence blurred the line between East Wing and West Wing power.

After the Debate Disaster
When Joe Biden stumbled through his pivotal debate against Donald Trump, panic swept through the Democratic Party. But Jill Biden stood firm. At a fundraiser, she declared: “Joe isn’t just the right person for the job — he’s the only person for the job.”

Authors reveal that dropping out was never an option discussed at Camp David. Instead, Jill Biden led the charge to keep her husband in the race, even as donors and Democrats began to waver.
