Hunter Biden just dropped a bombshell on the Democratic Party, accusing them of betraying his father, President Joe Biden, and costing them the 2024 election.
According to New York Post, in a rare public appearance on a new podcast, Hunter laid bare his frustration, claiming the Democrats’ internal squabbles and disloyalty squandered a winning hand, paving the way for Donald Trump’s return to power.
Let’s rewind to the summer before the 2024 election, when the Democratic Party turned on Joe Biden in a dramatic display of infighting.
According to Hunter, this wasn’t just a minor disagreement—it was a full-blown meltdown that derailed what he called an “incredibly successful administration,” despite its rock-bottom approval ratings.
“We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party,” Hunter declared on Jaime Harrison’s podcast, “At Our Table.” Talk about a gut punch—blaming your own team for abandoning ship when the seas got rough.
But let’s be real: loyalty is a two-way street, and with concerns swirling about Joe Biden’s mental sharpness after a shaky debate performance against Trump, it’s no shock some Democrats started looking for the exit.
Hunter didn’t hold back, arguing the party frittered away the benefits of incumbency with their backstabbing antics. “We had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down,” he told Harrison. Sounds noble, but was this administration really the golden goose he claims, given the public’s dismal view?
Eventually, the pressure became too much, and Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential race after mounting calls from within his own party urged him to bow out.
This cleared the path for Kamala Harris to take the Democratic nomination, only to fall short against Trump in the final showdown—a bitter pill for a party still licking its wounds.
Amid all this political chaos, Hunter’s own legal troubles cast a long shadow over Joe Biden’s presidency, with scandals often stealing the spotlight.
Last year, after initially insisting he wouldn’t intervene, Joe Biden granted Hunter a sweeping pardon for tax and firearm crimes spanning 11 years—a move that raised more than a few eyebrows. Hunter had been found guilty on all charges in a firearm possession case and pleaded guilty to failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes.
While Hunter stayed out of the public eye and avoided meddling in his father’s administration—“which, by the way, broke my heart,” he told Harrison—the pardon didn’t exactly scream impartial justice to many conservatives who value accountability over family ties.
Since leaving the White House, Joe Biden has kept a low profile, though he recently defended his use of the autopen for clemency decisions in a rare New York Times interview. Meanwhile, a new book by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, titled “Original Sin,” has reignited questions about his mental acuity.
As Democrats reel from their 2024 loss, voices like Jaime Harrison, the former Democratic National Committee chairman from 2021 to 2025, are trying to regroup with initiatives like his podcast, featuring guests such as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. James Clyburn, and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. It’s a noble effort, but with Hunter urging unity—“we better as hell get behind that nominee”—one wonders if the party can stop the infighting long enough to rebuild.
