President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, was convicted on three felony charges relating to the illegal possession of firearms on 18 April. Biden pledged to 'keep moving forward' after the conviction, and President Biden praised gun safety campaigners when asked about the issue. The first lady, Jill Biden, cancelled an extended campaign trip to be with her son and is now expected to visit five states in the coming days. The Biden campaign has indicated it will not let the conviction detract from attacking the presidency of Donald Trump. The conviction is being portrayed as a setback for the GOP, as it shows that even the president's son is not above the law and that the justice system is not biased against Republicans, as some have suggested.
