Over the past weekend, President Joe Biden attended a family gathering at Camp David, which was planned before his debate performance against former President Donald Trump. During this retreat, his family encouraged him to stay in the 2024 race despite concerns among some Democrats about his chances this fall. His son, Hunter Biden, was particularly vocal in advocating for his father to remain the party’s nominee. Hunter Biden has become more involved in White House meetings and has been seen conversing with high-level staff members.
Hunter Biden has not usually been present in meetings involving the president’s work at the White House but has recently increased his involvement. This shift in his role comes shortly after his conviction on felony gun charges and in the midst of ongoing GOP attempts to cast the Biden family in a negative light. Despite these challenges, President Biden has been a consistent source of support for his son, especially during his struggles with addiction.
According to sources, Hunter Biden has been participating in several meetings and calls with his father and advisors at the White House. He decided to stay in Washington to celebrate Independence Day with his family later in the week, signaling his continued presence and involvement in White House affairs. Following his time at Camp David, Hunter Biden returned to the White House with his father to help prepare for Joe Biden’s recent speech criticizing the US Supreme Court’s ruling.
