The president of the United States also serves as the head of a close-knit family that has had its fair share of pain and personal tragedy.
His kid, who is still alive, has now been found guilty of three federal offenses that might result in a long jail sentence.
However, it’s unlikely that the decision would affect how Americans cast their ballots in November.
Not his name, but his father’s will be on the ballot. There isn’t any proof linking the president to his son’s transgressions. Furthermore, there is no evidence from polls that the public is paying close attention to this trial.
While Joe Biden handled his official duties and ran for reelection, his son’s legal drama dogged him for weeks. Joe Biden had stated at the beginning of the trial that he would not comment on the proceedings. Hunter’s punishment, which has not yet been decided, might cause the president as much disruption as possible as he gets ready for a crucial presidential debate later this month.
As any father would, First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary for the first two years of the Biden administration, Michael LaRosa, adds, “This will, of course, be a personal distraction for the president.” “It’s not a distraction from his duties as president, but I’m sure it will take an emotional toll on the family.”
