Hunter Biden’s latest media appearance is raising eyebrows across the political spectrum. In a recent interview on former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison’s newly launched podcast, Hunter shifted the blame for the Democrats’ 2024 defeat not onto failed policies, a struggling economy, or weak leadership, but on a supposed lack of loyalty to his father, Joe Biden. According to the president’s son, the party lost because Democrats didn’t rally behind the elder Biden, despite what he characterized as an “incredibly successful administration.”
Hunter’s attempt to recast the Biden presidency as a period of historic success flies in the face of public sentiment. Throughout Joe Biden’s term, polling consistently showed his approval ratings sinking to historic lows, with many Americans voicing concern over the nation’s direction. The idea that party unity, rather than widespread dissatisfaction with policy and leadership, cost Democrats the election is simply at odds with the facts. This is the same political arrogance that cost Democrats dearly at the polls.
The tone-deafness of Hunter’s comments is hard to ignore, especially given his long trail of controversy. While he was quick to point fingers at disloyal Democrats, he brushed off questions about recent scandals, including his questionable business dealings and convictions. It’s difficult to take lectures on party integrity from someone who has benefited more from closed-door deals and last-minute presidential pardons than most Americans could ever imagine.
What’s even more astonishing is the Biden camp’s continued denial of the president’s declining acuity, despite mounting evidence. Hunter dismissed claims of a cover-up about his father’s health, even as high-profile Democrats and former allies, including Hollywood elites like George Clooney, sounded the alarm over Joe Biden’s fitness. Instead of self-reflection on failed leadership or poor debate performances, Hunter lashed out, targeting critics within the party who dared speak the truth.
At its core, Hunter Biden’s podcast remarks underscore a striking disconnect from reality. Blaming loyal party members for electoral losses while ignoring the administration’s failures and the president’s visible decline is not just misguided—it’s an insult to voters who demanded better. As the Biden family continues its public spectacle, Americans are left wondering whether the Democrats have learned anything from a historic electoral rebuke or if their priorities remain stubbornly misplaced.
