As if Joe Biden didn’t have enough on his plate with his advanced age and questionable mental acuity, now he has to deal with the dragging anchor of his son’s shenanigans. It’s no wonder that President Biden’s approval ratings are plunging faster than a lead balloon. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden is now the most unpopular president in modern U.S. history. And to add insult to injury, a whopping 67 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, according to a CNN Poll. It’s enough to make a Democrat strategist from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign feel queasy.
The Hunter Biden debacle has Democrats in a tizzy, with one strategist lamenting, “I have a pit in my stomach about it.” And the chaos surrounding Hunter’s financial dealings is being touted as a potential torpedo to sink Joe Biden’s reelection hopes. It’s as if the Democrats can’t catch a break as they struggle to prop up an embattled president burdened by concerns about the economy and his age.
To make matters worse, Hunter’s recent press conference seems to have only added fuel to the fire, with speculation rife about his father’s involvement in his business dealings. It’s a headache that the Biden camp could do without as they try to fend off the looming threat of Republican attacks and distracting controversies.
And as if the Hunter Biden fiasco wasn’t enough, recent polls show that Americans are highly skeptical of both Hunter and his father. A plurality of Americans have expressed doubts about the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into Hunter Biden, and a majority believe that President Biden may have committed a crime in connection with his son’s activities. The situation is so dire that 63 percent of people believe Joe Biden violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by allegedly assisting Hunter in a Ukraine deal.
With the specter of Hunter Biden looming over Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, it seems the Democrats are facing an uphill battle as they try to weather the storm of controversy and skepticism. It’s a mess that not even the most skillful spin doctor could easily tidy up. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the Republicans are just licking their chops, hoping to use the Hunter Biden debacle as their best shot to cast a dark cloud over the Biden family and sink Joe’s chances once and for all.
