The president has maintained his position supporting his son but without giving him benefits. The Possible Hunter Effect in Joe Biden’s Campaign.
Hunter Biden continues to be a burden for his father, US President Joe Biden, who is seeking a second term in November 2024.
The implications of Hunter’s legal troubles could negatively influence his father’s re-election campaign.
On June 11, Hunter Biden was found guilty of violating federal gun laws by lying about his drug use when he purchased a firearm.
Additionally, he will face trial in Los Angeles in September for alleged tax violations.
These cases represent a challenge for both Hunter and Joe Biden, as conservative media have long attempted to link Hunter’s activities to those of his father.

Impact on the re-election campaign
A Republican-controlled committee in the House of Representatives has used Hunter Biden’s businesses to open an impeachment inquiry into the president.
Although no solid evidence has emerged to show that Joe Biden benefited from his son’s actions, the investigation remains an obstacle during the re-election campaign.
Joe Biden faces a complex scenario, similar to his likely opponent, former President Donald Trump, who also has multiple legal problems.

In purchasing the gun, Hunter Biden lied on a federal form by denying his use of controlled substances.

Additionally, prosecutors accuse Hunter Biden of failing to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes on time between 2016 and 2019, despite earning more than $7 million.
The charges include three felonies and six misdemeanors, with penalties that could total up to 17 years in prison, although he is unlikely to receive the maximum sentence. The judge overseeing the case will decide the sentence in the coming months.

Joe Biden Impeachment Investigation
In September, then-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy, launched an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, accusing him of leading a “culture of corruption.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has presented evidence that Hunter Biden and his associates received approximately $24 million from individuals and companies in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan between 2014 and 2019.

Although Democrats call the investigation political revenge for Trump’s impeachments, the investigation is ongoing.
Comer has pointed to checks issued by Hunter Biden to his father as evidence that Joe Biden benefited from his son’s business dealings.
However, conclusive proof that Joe Biden has compromised American interests to favor his son has not yet been found.

Hunter Biden’s legal troubles present a significant challenge to Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
The president’s ability to distance himself from his son’s actions and maintain the trust of the electorate will be crucial in the coming months.
