Hunter Biden has recently started becoming more involved in meetings at the White House, according to NBC News. Although he is familiar with the residence, his participation in meetings is a new development. President Joe Biden faced criticism for his debate performance against former President Donald Trump, leading his family to encourage him to continue his reelection bid.
Over the weekend, President Biden attended a family gathering at Camp David, where his family urged him to stay in the 2024 race despite some Democratic concerns about his chance of winning this fall. Hunter Biden, one of the main advocates for his father’s reelection, has been advising President Biden and participating in meetings alongside high-level aides. He has also been seen talking to other White House staffers recently.
Although Hunter Biden has been a familiar face at the White House residence, he has not actively participated in meetings involving the president’s work until now. His increased presence comes after being convicted on felony gun charges and Joe Biden has always been supportive of him, especially during his battles with addiction. Hunter Biden has been attending meetings and calls with his father and advisors, as well as staying in Washington for Independence Day celebrations with his family.
White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates stated that Hunter Biden returned from Camp David with his father and went straight into speech prep for Joe Biden’s recent remarks criticizing the US Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. Hunter Biden’s involvement in White House meetings marks a new chapter for the son of the President.
