Jill Biden: You’ll See ‘How Smart’ Joe Is During the Debate and Trump Who ‘Can’t Put a Sentence Together’

HAINES: “Well, Dr. Biden, the first presidential debate is less than a month away. And we’ve debated at this table, there have been people that have thought President Biden shouldn’t even debate President Trump just due to the fact that he — Donald Trump will gaslight. He overtalks.”
Biden: “Yeah.”
HAINES: “There are no guardrails. So —“
BEHAR: “He stokes.”
HAINES: “Yeah. Well, I happen to believe it’s really important more than ever to have a debate with guardrails. What is the strategy that the president has going into this? Any tips you’d have for a debate that we could pull off where we could actually hear our candidates?”
Biden: “You know, they build that in where they’re going to turn off those mics so that somebody can’t ramble or scream at somebody — you know, not that my husband would be the one doing that. And so that’s already been negotiated. And you know, I think — but I think the American people deserve a debate, because you need to see your choices. You need to see Trump and you need to see the president, and you need to see the differences. And my husband’s — and you’re going to see how smart he is, and the experience he has. And then you’ll see somebody who like you’re saying, I’m going to use Joy’s words can put a sentence together —“
BEHAR: “Right.”
Biden: “— and everything is beautiful, and it’s wonderful.”
BEHAR: “Tremendous.”
HOSTIN: “Big league.” [crosstalk]
Biden: “Yeah. Yeah. Tremendous.”
BEHAR: “Tremendous.”
Biden: “So, I think you deserve. The American people deserve to see the — the two men who are running for this office, because your choice is going to be clear.”
HOSTIN: “Yeah.”
