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. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.

lmao this campaign is just handing ammo to republicans by invoking Hunter

I’m pretty sure this is just a message to the Democratic bourgeois donors that “don’t worry, Project Ukraine is safe” given Hunter’s prominent role in Ukraine.

People often think that when politicians release statements in the press, the messages are meant for them. But you would be mistaken, they are not talking to you, you are not that important, they are talking to the bourgeoisie, the only class that matters.

Same energy as when people believe CIA claims, as if they're being briefed rather than, you know, psyoped. You are not invited to the briefings
