<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During Joe Biden&#8217;s run for president in 2020, Stevenson alleged that Jill cheated on him with the future president in August 1974 – the same year they separated.<br>He detailed how the two were working on then-New Castle County Councilman Joe Biden&#8217;s campaign together when he started to suspect the affair.<br>&#8216;One of her best friends told me she thought Joe and Jill were getting a little too close. I was surprised that she came to me,&#8217; Stevenson said in an interview.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stevenson said his suspicions were confirmed after a man told him Joe had been driving his wife&#8217;s car when they were involved in an accident together.<br>&#8216;I asked Jill to leave the house, which she did,&#8217; he said. &#8216;Her father was begging me to take her back when he found out what was going on. He asked me to give her a second chance, but I wasn&#8217;t interested.&#8217;<br>Jill Biden since repudiated those allegations. Her representatives told Inside Edition in 2020 that claims of an affair were &#8216;fictitious&#8217;, designed to &#8216;sell and promote a book&#8217; which Stevenson was set to launch.<br>&#8216;The relationship of Joe and Jill Biden is well documented,&#8217; the spokesman said.<br>&#8216;Jill Biden separated from her first husband irreconcilably in the fall of 1974 and moved out of their marital home.
