Jill Biden accused of 'elder abuse' by Washington Post columnist for pushing husband to seek re-election
A Washington socialite and journalist accused former First Lady Jill Biden of "elder abuse" in an explosive new interview after former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Sally Quinn, a DC insider and longtime columnist for the Washington Post, took aim at the former first lady during a wide-ranging interview with journalist Tara Palmeri on the "Tara Palmeri Show" on Wednesday. She accused Jill Biden of pushing him to run for re-election despite his apparent cognitive decline. "I blame Jill Biden for this. Jill Biden is his wife. And if Jill Biden had stood up and gone to him and said, 'Joe you can't do it'… He wouldn't have run," Quinn told Palmeri. "She clearly was in favor of his running and I just think it was a terrible disservice to the country." Quinn described feeling aghast by how Jill Biden continued to push ahead and rally support for her husband's presidential campaign immediately after the "hideous" June 2024 presidential debate, which sparked debate over whether Biden was fit to serve another four years. "She wasn't protecting him… I thought it was elder abuse, really," Quinn declared. Quinn, who has dined with the Washington establishment for decades, said Biden's apparent worsening health was an open secret among the Washington elite, who were worried about Biden's ability to handle another four years in the Oval Office. "Everybody thought he shouldn't run," she told Palmeri. "People were just distraught that he was running and terrible for the party." "I think everybody was horrified that he was put in a position where he was allowed to run, by his staff and by his wife," she continued. "People felt sorry for him. But still it was his egotistical decision to stay in office and look what happened." The journalist famously was married to Watergate-era Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, who suffered from demential until his death in 2014. She said Biden's forgetfulness and habit of wandering off reminded her of how her late husband acted during his last years of life. "It looks like the beginning of dementia to me," she said of Biden. The DC insider said she was shocked to learn, alongside the rest of the country, of Biden's late-stage cancer diagnosis and wondered how it could not have been caught sooner. "The President of the United States has the best medical care in the world, or should, and it should've been diagnosed a long time ago," she said. "It's hard for me not to believe that they didn't know about it and were waiting to reveal it until it got too aggressive." A Biden spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that the former president's last known prostate cancer screening test was in 2014. Biden's health is once again in the media spotlight after the release of CNN journalist Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," which reports claims of a White House cover-up of the then-president's apparent cognitive decline. Jill Biden's office did not return a request for comment.

A Political Reporter Takes Her Scoops to YouTube
After a few years of writing what she called a 'niche newsletter for Washington insiders,' the political journalist Tara Palmeri decided she wanted to reach a wider audience. A much wider audience. She's taking her reporting to YouTube. Ms. Palmeri said she is leaving the start-up Puck to strike out on her own, focusing much of her effort on the streaming giant. She joins a slew of other journalists who have left news organizations to build their own businesses around podcasts and newsletters. But in politics, the most successful of these independent media stars have strong views and clear allegiances. Conservative hosts like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly remain atop the podcasting charts, and anti-Trump media collectives are rapidly growing; two of them, The Contrarian and MeidasTouch, each have more than half a million newsletter subscribers, many of them paid. That is not Ms. Palmeri. 'I'm not on a crusade,' said Ms. Palmeri, 37, the type of political journalist who proudly abstains from voting in elections while she's covering them in order to maintain objectivity with her audience. 'I'm not sold on either party, and that's why I don't really have a lot of friends.' In her new venture, Ms. Palmeri wants to speak to audiences from the underdeveloped territory of 'the middle,' she said, without a political agenda. 'There isn't really anyone there yet, and I want to try.' In focusing on YouTube, Ms. Palmeri is also taking a slightly a different tack from many of the journalists who have recently left media companies — whether voluntarily or through layoffs or firings — to release their own content, typically on Substack.
