(TheProudRepublic.com) – Even though his father’s performance during the presidential debate was confusing and alarming, Hunter Biden was “one of the strongest voices” in the Biden family who urged Joe Biden to stay in the presidential race.
Previously, Joe Biden had met with several family members at Camp David to discuss his campaign’s future after appearing confused, freezing, struggling with his prepared closing statement, and making several false claims during the debate.
According to the New York Times, the president was joined by his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, his children, Hunter and Ashley Biden and his grandchildren.
While many donors, Democratic officials and voters questioned Biden’s ability to serve a second term and called for him to be replaced, the Biden family reportedly encouraged him “to stay in the race and keep fighting,” several anonymous sources close to the situation told the outlet.
Moreover, the outlet described Hunter as being “one of the strongest voices,” urging the president not to drop out of the race. It stated:
“One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations.”
The outlet also added that several Biden family members and Democrats, including John Morgan, a Democratic fundraiser, have blamed former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, senior adviser Anita Dunn, and Biden’s attorney Bob Bauer for Biden’s poor debate performance.
Before the debate against former President Donald Trump, Biden had undergone “intensive preparation and coaching” at “debate camp” at Camp David.
In an interview, Morgan said, “It would be like if you took a prizefighter who was going to have a title fight and put him in a sauna for 15 hours then said, ‘Go fight.’”
Despite Biden’s debate performance, figures like former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have defended him, saying that “bad debate nights happen.”
