Former acting chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Donna Brazile was not interested in talking about former first lady Jill Biden\u2019s comments on being \u201cfrightened\u201d watching her husband in the\u00a02024 presidential debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jill Biden recently told CBS that while watching her husband\u2019s debate performance against President Donald Trump, she feared he was suffering a medical emergency and thought he might be having a stroke. Her comments renewed attention on concerns about then-President Joe Biden\u2019s age and health, which intensified after his widely scrutinized debate performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about Jill Biden right now,\u201d Brazile said when Fox News Digital asked her to share her thoughts on the former first lady\u2019s recent comments on her husband\u2019s debate.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital pressed Brazile to respond as conversations have been circulating around the 2024 election and what went wrong \u2014 particularly following the calling for and release of the 2024 DNC autopsy report, an internal review of the party\u2019s 2024 defeat and the factors that contributed to it.<\/p>\n

Brazile, referring to herself in the third person, urged Democrats to deny any calls to look to the past, and instead focus on the future of the party and upcoming\u00a0elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonna Brazile will not focus on the past,\u201d she said. \u201cDonna Brazile want to focus on the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She argued Democrats already made their decision in 2024 when Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President\u00a0Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>We made that decision in 2024 when the then-president decided to step down and pass the torch to Kamala,\u201d Brazile said.<\/p>\n

A longtime Democratic strategist, Brazile served as interim chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2011 and again in 2016. She has remained an influential voice within Democratic politics through multiple presidential election cycles and has frequently weighed in on the party\u2019s direction following major electoral setbacks.<\/p>\n

There has been widespread criticism over how Democrats handled concerns about Joe Biden\u2019s age and his\u00a0cognitive health, and whether that impacted the party\u2019s performance in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

There has been continued debate within the\u00a0Democratic Party\u00a0about how it handled concerns about Biden\u2019s age and cognitive health for office before he ended his re-election campaign and endorsed Harris.<\/p>\n

Brazile\u2019s comments highlight a divide between Democrats seeking a fuller accounting of the events that led to Biden\u2019s withdrawal and the party\u2019s 2024 loss and those who believe the focus should shift toward rebuilding ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and future presidential contests.<\/p>\n

But Brazile made clear where she stands.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who\u2019s focusing on the past is not focused on the future,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m actually focused on \u201926, \u201928, \u201932.\u201d<\/p>\n
