## Resource

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Do you believe Jill Biden was blindsided by Joe's debate performance? Michael revisits Joe Biden’s disastrous 2024 debate performance in light of Jill Biden’s new comments that she was “frightened” and had never seen him that way before OR since. He walks through the warning signs that came before the debate—from the Robert Hur report to the Hollywood fundraiser with Barack Obama and George Clooney—and asks whether the former first lady’s claim is credible. Michael also addresses concerns about Donald Trump’s health, drawing a contrast between fair scrutiny and political weaponization. Listen here, then cast your vote at Smerconish.com!
