Last Updated:June 02, 2026, 21:28 IST

Jill Biden's memoir reveals secret note for Trumps, worries over Joe Biden's health and June 2024 debate.

Former US First Lady Jill Biden has revealed that she left a secret message for the Trump family at the White House on the morning of Inauguration Day, though she declined to disclose what it said.

The revelation appears in her new memoir, View from the East Wing, which offers a candid account of her husband’s presidency, family struggles and political battles.

Jill Biden’s Health Concerns For Joe

Among the book’s key takeaways is Jill Biden’s admission that she had concerns about Joe Biden’s health before he was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer after leaving office. She recalled telling his doctor, “Joe was up seven times last night. … I’m worried about him." While she was “stunned" by the later diagnosis, she maintained that her husband was “definitely aging" but still “very much up to the job."

Jill On June 2024 Presidential Debate

Biden also reflects on the June 2024 presidential debate, acknowledging her husband’s poor performance. During the event, she wondered, “Is he short circuiting? … Is this a stroke? … Was he having a medical emergency?" She later admitted: “I still don’t know what happened."

The memoir details her complicated relationship with public life, describing the role of first lady as “a catch-22." She writes: “You were encouraged to use your platform to do good, but not to be too aggressive in pursuing policy goals, lest you be seen as overreaching."

Hunter’s Addiction And Criticism Of Trump

Jill Biden also opens up about her son Hunter Biden’s addiction, writing: “Even now, I can barely say the words ‘My son was a drug addict.’ Barely." She expresses regret for not addressing the issue sooner and says she supported Joe Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter.

The book also criticises several actions taken by President Donald Trump since returning to office, including policy reversals and planned changes to the White House complex. In the book, she criticized Trump’s decision to demolish the East Wing, home to first ladies for decades, to make way for his sprawling ballroom project.
