WSJ reporter Josh Dawsey, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, disclosed that Hunter Biden played a significant role in his father’s presidential campaign. According to Dawsey, Hunter often participated in strategic calls alongside Biden’s advisors, contributing to decision-making processes.
The reporter emphasized that Biden was deeply troubled by his son’s legal issues, which he viewed as a major hindrance to his re-election campaign. This revelation comes from Dawsey’s book, which also explores how Biden’s inner circle had been anxious about his age long before the botched debate performance in 2024. The book sheds light on the personal and political challenges Biden faced during his re-election bid, including the internal strain caused by Hunter’s situation.
