By The FirstA report from Politico claims Jill Biden helped convince Joe Biden “get to yes” on running for re-election in 2024.

“She is usually in the room when senior campaign staff are presenting strategy to her husband. She will ask questions. But she never weighs in on the decision,” explained a former top Biden staffer.
