Jill Biden walked her husband, President Joe Biden down the studio steps after Thursday night’s debate, raising concerns of his health as he struggled to maintain balance and support himself without falling.
Biden, who suffers from atrial fibrillation, peripheral neuropathy in his feet, and hyperlipidemia, according to his annual physical by physician Kevin O’Connor, may have been struggling with these health challenges as he stumbled and fell several times during the debate.

Biden has implemented a strategy of walking to and from Marine One with multiple aides to “draw less attention” to his physical ailments, according to reports by Axios’s Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson. Biden also began boarding Air Force One from the shorter steps at the rear of the aircraft instead of the taller staircase at the front.
Moments before slowly stepping down the steps, Biden did not clearly deliver much of his prepared closing statement without error during Thursday’s debate.
When I did, when for example, he wants to get away with — get rid of the ability of Medicare — to — the ability to for the U.S. to be able to negotiate drug prices with big pharma companies — well, guess what? We got it — we got it down 15. Excuse me, $35 for insulin instead of $400. No more than $2,000 for average senior, no matter what how much a prescription they need.
Trump slammed Biden’s constant mumbles during Thursday’s presidential debate.
I really don’t know what he said,” Trump said. I don’t think he knows what he said either.
Seventy percent of those surveyed by DailyMail.com/TIPP would have liked to see both Biden and Trump undergo drug testing before the debate.
Trump is the “expected winner” of the debate, but most say the results will not change their voting intent, according to a recent Economist/YouGov poll.
When asked which candidate is expected to win in November, Trump led Biden by ten points (48-38 percent), according to a Wednesday New York Times/Siena poll.
