Hunter Biden Claims Father Would've Won Re-Election If Democrats Hadn't 'Melted Down': 'Did Not Remain Loyal'

Hunter Biden has defended his father from Democrats who blame Joe Biden for the party’s demoralizing defeat in 2024.

Democrats lost because they “did not remain loyal” to the former president, Hunter told former Democratic Party boss Jaime Harrison, a fellow Biden loyalist.

Bucking the conventional wisdom, Hunter asserted that his father was well-positioned to win re-election.

However, he claims Democrats blew it when they suddenly panicked following Joe Biden’s infamous debate against President Donald Trump on CNN.

Biden’s feeble performance cost him support from Democrats and liberal media organizations that had defended him throughout his presidency.

As Biden grew isolated, he leaned on his family, who encouraged him to stay in the race.

But Biden eventually stepped aside, endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.

However, Harris floundered on the national stage, despite an initial burst of hype.

“We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party,” Hunter told Harrison’s podcast.

“That’s my position,” he added.

“We had the advantage of incumbency, we had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down.”

Hunter also dismissed accusations that he played a high-level role in his father’s White House.

He told Harrison that he “stayed as far away as I possibly could — which, by the way, broke my heart.”

Hunter predicted that the impact of the Democratic Party’s implosion would linger for some time.

“You know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until there’s a nominee,” he argued.

“And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee.”

Before leaving office, Joe Biden gave his son a controversial blanket pardon for tax and gun charges, despite promising not to do so.

The decision clouded Biden’s final days in power in a scandal.

Despite Democrats’ wishes for him to retire quietly, Biden has continued to speak up in defense of his legacy.

He has denied being in cognitive decline while in office, and he clings to the belief that he could have won re-election, a conviction that few seem to share outside his immediate family.

In an interview with “The View” in May, Joe Biden said the “only reason” he dropped out was to avoid dividing Democrats.
