Book Reveals Hunter Biden Legal Woes Strained Joe Biden 2024 Campaign

A new book, "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," reveals significant behind-the-scenes details from the 2024 presidential campaign. It depicts a surprisingly cordial phone call from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the election, despite harsh public rhetoric during the campaign. The book also highlights the intense personal strain on President Biden due to his son Hunter Biden's legal troubles, which heavily impacted Biden's campaign focus and mental state. Hunter Biden was described as a major figure in Biden's inner circle, with his court case weighing heavily on the president, who even considered testifying on his behalf and ultimately pardoned him. Biden’s poor debate performance and cognitive decline were linked in part to the stress over his son's situation, which contributed to Biden's decision to end his re-election bid. The strained family dynamics and political pressures underscore the challenges faced by the Biden campaign, contrasted with Trump's post-election civility.
