Joe Biden praised by wife Jill for ‘answering every question’ in presidential debate

Joe Biden was praised by his wife, Jill, for answering “every question” after Thursday night’s presidential debate.

During the CNN clash, Donald Trump and Mr Biden sparred over a range of issues including abortion and tax policy, but struggled for different reasons.

“Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question,” Jill told the cheering crowd.
