Jill Biden defended Joe Biden‘s mental health, calling questions about her husband’s capabilities ‘ridiculous’ and saying he works ‘almost 24 hours’ a day.
Biden sat down with CBS’ Rita Braver at Camp David to talk about life in the White House – a rare TV interview from the private presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains.
In the conversation, she admitted being first lady was a ‘little harder’ than she expected, expressed optimism at what her husband can do in a highly-charged political environment of Washington, and dismissed recent polls showing Americans have questions about the president’s mental fitness.
‘I think that’s ridiculous,’ she said about those polling numbers.
The first lady, who has gone on national tours to sell parts of the president’s congressional agenda to the country, particularly in red states that supported Donald Trump, said her husband works ‘almost 24 hours a day.’
