This is shocking.

A new political bombshell from CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on inside the Biden White House—and it raises serious questions about who’s really running the show.

In Original Sin, the authors expose First Lady Jill Biden as one of the most powerful and influential presidential spouses in modern history. But her power didn’t stop at influence—she allegedly helped shield the American people from the truth about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline earning her the nickname of “Chief Denier”.

Behind the Scenes: Jill Biden as the “Shadow Commander” of the White House

Referred to as “Dr. B” by insiders, Jill Biden—an educator with a doctorate in education—was once a reluctant political spouse. But according to Tapper and Thompson, she quickly transformed into her husband’s top political enforcer and chief protector.

She not only helped craft campaign messages and review ads, but also sat in on interviews with key White House staff. Sources say she even kept score on who was loyal—and who wasn’t—often with the help of top aide Anthony Bernal.

Covering for Joe Biden’s Cognitive Struggles

The book claims that Jill Biden pushed hard for her husband’s 2024 re-election run—even as cracks began to show in the president’s public performance. Critics, including President Donald Trump’s former press secretary Karoline Leavitt, say Jill Biden should answer for her role in the cover-up of the president’s mental decline.

“This wasn’t about supporting a husband—it was about propping up a failing presidency,” Leavitt said. She also pointed to Jill’s defensive behavior during a recent appearance on The View, where the First Lady rushed to Joe Biden’s rescue after he struggled to answer basic questions.

Family Fallout: Where Were Hunter and Valerie?

While Biden’s sister Valerie Owens and his children Hunter and Ashley kept their distance during his 2020 campaign, Jill Biden was front and center. She grilled staff about media coverage, insisted on advance knowledge of crowd sizes, and made sure every detail of the campaign was tightly controlled.

White House Role Raised Eyebrows Among National Security Officials

Jill Biden’s growing influence didn’t stop at the campaign trail. On international trips, her team demanded talking points usually reserved for senior officials. Some in national security reportedly found this “spousal programming” odd—and potentially inappropriate.

Her influence went so far that Bernal had already begun drafting Jill Biden’s 2025 international travel schedule, even as voters questioned whether her husband was fit to serve.

State Dinner Confusion: “Toast to Four More Years?”

One of the more shocking moments described in the book occurred at a 2022 state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron. Jill reportedly made a joke about staying in shape for campaigning. When asked if they should toast to another run, President Biden appeared confused—raising even more red flags about his awareness.

Post-Debate Panic: “The Family Against the World”

Following a devastating 2024 debate performance, sources told the Associated Press that Jill and Hunter Biden still pushed Joe to stay in the race. According to the book, Hunter took on a siege mentality, saying it was “the family against the world.”

Meanwhile, Jill fumed behind closed doors at Democrats who dared suggest Joe should reconsider running.

When Democratic Allies Turned on Biden, Jill Took Charge

Sen. Debbie Stabenow tried to raise concerns about the president’s condition. Jill Biden didn’t answer directly—but later vented her anger at White House staff for allowing the moment. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro reportedly faced a similar rebuke when Jill whisked the president away mid-conversation.

By then, Jill had grown resentful of longtime Democrat allies. In the end, she reportedly told Biden the decision was his—but insiders say her hand was clearly on the wheel.


Conclusion: Is Jill Biden the Real Power in the White House?

With President Biden’s health under increasing scrutiny, voters have a right to ask: Has the First Lady been leading the nation from behind the scenes?

This latest exposé raises troubling questions about transparency, leadership, and the growing divide within the Democratic Party.
