President Joe Biden’s family encouraged him to stay in the 2024 race during a weekend retreat at Camp David, 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. This shift in Hunter Biden’s 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. Sources report that 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.
