Joe Biden gambles on voters rewarding his support for Hunter
President Joe Biden Stands by His Son Amid Impeachment Inquiry
Despite facing an impeachment inquiry focused on his son’s foreign business dealings, President Joe Biden has not wavered in his support for Hunter Biden. In fact, he has kept his son close by his side, even amidst the scrutiny.
On Monday, Joe and Hunter Biden enjoyed a lunch with friends, followed by Hunter joining the first family on Air Force One and Marine One as they returned from Delaware on Tuesday.
When questioned about the decision not to list Hunter Biden on passenger manifests, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed any notion of hiding him, stating that it is customary for the family to travel with the president.
“That’s something that we’ve never done,” Jean-Pierre emphasized. “This is the family. The family gets to travel with the president, and that’s been the case with every other president. And so it’s not something that we’ve done or we would be doing moving forward.”
Contrary to accusations of concealment, Hunter Biden has been visible to press photographers and reporters, appearing in White House pool reports. This suggests that Joe Biden is unafraid to publicly embrace his son.
Throughout his presidency, Joe Biden has consistently shown his unwavering support for Hunter, even in the face of a criminal indictment and defiance of a congressional subpoena.
The Political Implications
While Republicans cry foul, the bigger question is how voters perceive Joe Biden’s actions. Will they see him as a loving father standing by his troubled son, or will they view his close association with Hunter as a vulnerability that Republicans can exploit to tie him to alleged corruption?
Democratic strategist Brad Bannon believes that the former will prevail, stating, “He’s being supportive of his son. It’s the holiday season, families get together, and that’s no different for the president of the United States. I think Republicans are overplaying their hand in this case with the impeachment inquiry, and they will live to regret it.”
The lunch between Joe and Hunter Biden on Monday held a special significance as it marked the 51st anniversary of the tragic car crash that claimed the lives of Hunter’s mother, Neilia, and his 1-year-old sister.
Bannon suggests that most voters would prefer the GOP to focus on other issues rather than the impeachment inquiry. He remarks, ”Rather than dealing with issues that even they feel are important, such as the economy, all Republicans can do is an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden. This is beginning to remind me of 1998 when the Republicans went overboard on the Bill Clinton impeachment and paid the price by losing the House. That’s where they’re headed here.”
Public Opinion on Hunter Biden
A recent Fox News poll shed light on public sentiment regarding Hunter Biden. When asked if he is being treated fairly by the legal system, 66% of respondents believed he was, indicating support for the indictments against him.
The poll also asked if the Department of Justice had been too tough, not tough enough, or fair to Hunter Biden. The results showed that 55% felt the DOJ was not tough enough, while 34% considered their actions fair. Only 7% believed the DOJ was being too tough, further indicating support for their actions.
Nevertheless, voters may separate Hunter Biden’s alleged misdeeds, such as foreign influence peddling, from his father. Hunter himself made this argument during a defiant appearance at the Capitol, stating, “They belittled my recovery and they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass my father, who has devoted his entire life to public service. For six years, I have been a target of the unrelenting Trump attack team. ‘Where’s Hunter?’ Well, here’s my answer. I am here.”
Republican strategist John Feehery agrees that voters are more likely to sympathize with Joe Biden’s support for his son rather than be repulsed by it. He remarks, “In many ways, it is quite admirable. Blood is and should be thicker than politics. A cynic might say that the president is keeping Hunter close because he doesn’t want his son to throw him under the bus. But from a political perspective, I think most Biden supporters appreciate the loyalty.”
