Hunter Biden Expresses Fury Over Obama Stage Incident at California Fundraiser

Hunter Biden was deeply angered by an incident in June 2024 where former President Barack Obama took President Joe Biden's hand and led him off the stage at a Hollywood fundraiser after Joe Biden appeared to freeze momentarily. Hunter perceived this gesture as an affront to his father and nearly confronted Obama publicly, fearing the moment would become a meme that portrayed his father as weak. This event occurred shortly before Joe Biden's poor debate performance against Donald Trump, which ultimately led to Biden withdrawing from the presidential race. The fundraiser, which raised over $30 million for Biden's campaign, featured several Hollywood luminaries who observed a noticeable decline in the president's mental acuity. Journalist Jonathan Karl's upcoming book "Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America" details Hunter Biden's reaction and the broader tensions between the Biden and Obama families. The viral nature of the incident reinforced public concerns about Biden's cognitive state during his 2024 campaign.
