Jill Biden privately assured donors 'Joe's ready to go' ahead of disastrous debate: report

First Lady Jill Biden reportedly assured donors her husband was "ready to go" ahead of his disastrous presidential debate.

Time Magazine published a damning report offering an "inside" look behind President Biden's shocking debate performance, which began with a scene involving his wife meeting with "financial bigwigs" before he took the stage.
