WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amidst increasing pressure for President Joe Biden to exit the presidential race, Hunter Biden emerged as a pivotal advocate for his father’s continued campaign, according to sources close to the family.”The strongest voice imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice,” reported the New York Times. Joe Biden has frequently referred to Hunter as the “smartest” man he knows.
Family members appear to support this stance, with one grandchild expressing interest in becoming more involved, potentially by leveraging social media influencers to bolster the campaign.
Hunter Biden’s motivations stem from a desire for the American public to see his father as he knows him—”scrappy and in command of the facts”—rather than the faltering, aging figure perceived during the recent debate against Donald Trump.
In a private family meeting at Camp David today, Biden’s relatives reportedly criticized his top campaign advisors, holding them accountable for his poor performance in the debate. The family is now demanding significant changes, including the firing or demotion of key campaign staffers.
Speculation had been rife that Joe Biden might withdraw from the race following his widely panned debate performance. However, former President Barack Obama downplayed the event, describing it in a tweet as “one bad night” and ignoring concerns about Biden’s cognitive health.
As the Biden family deliberates over the future of the campaign, the internal dynamics and Hunter Biden’s influence could play a crucial role in the president’s decision-making process.
