Footage broadcast on CNN following Thursday night’s debate showed Joe Biden getting carefully escorted off-stage by his wife Jill, further exacerbating concerns over his health from Democrats.
A clip from the end of the debate shared on social media by Donald Trump Jr. featured Jill grabbing Joe by the arm before moving toward a small set of steps, at which point Biden pauses then proceeds slowly.
“Watch Joe Biden get escorted off the stage! What a stark contrast between how Trump left the stage and how Biden is exiting,” Trump Jr. wrote on X.

The footage comes as the White House has had to explain recent clips of Joe Biden wandering off at the G7 Summit and Obama grabbing his arm to escort him offstage during a fundraiser, labeling them “deepfakes” “cheap fakes” and “manipulated” videos.
Meanwhile, Dems worried over Biden’s poor debate performance immediately sounded the panic alarm and called for him to be swapped as the party’s presidential candidate.
