The Good Doctor Keeps Doing Bad Interviews – 6.1.26
Jilly Bean just won’t stop digging!
Now she is on with Craig Melvin making an absolute fool of herself as she hawks her latest book.
Watch:
NBC's @CraigMelvin: "In the days and weeks after [the 2024 debate], you continued to insist that the President was fine. How do you square thinking that he may have had a stroke with what you were saying in the days and weeks after? How do you square those?"

Jill Biden responds to Kamala Harris saying Biden running for re-election was “recklessness.” She tells @craigmelvin: “That is her point of view and if she felt that way she should have said it” pic.twitter.com/4tagAaQ9ii— Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) June 1, 2026
Axios had some book reviews from ex-staffers.
What they’re saying: Several Biden aides — including some of the most loyal ones — are fuming about the former first lady’s reemergence. One former Biden official said: “I just wish they would give some more time and space and let people move on. It all feels so disingenuous.” Another said: “The throughline between her book and [Kamala] Harris’ is that they blame everyone but themselves for the loss.” A former senior Biden official added: “President Biden actually has a legacy that is impactful and should be celebrated at some point — getting us through the pandemic and passing life-changing bills. Why does he keep stepping on it himself?” A former Biden campaign aide said: “It’s just so selfish. The Bidens preached selflessness and service above all — and every decision they’ve made since he decided to run for reelection has been about themselves. It’s also ironic — the only people undermining President Biden’s legacy are the people closest to him.”
