The Spin

Republican narrative

Between Hunter's failed plea bargain, subsequent prosecution, and evidence showing he used his father's influence to pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Chinese firm, the Biden family is drowning in scandals. Though he's trying to hide behind his son now, Pres. Biden is being exposed for the corrupt man he is — and his legacy will be tarnished for it.

Democratic narrative

Though Republicans are strategically using the phrase "Biden family" when talking about Hunter Biden's legal troubles, the reality is that not even the GOP impeachment inquirers have found evidence linking the president to his son. Joe Biden has been a family man from his earliest days as a county councilman in Delaware, so it's no surprise that he's chosen to back his son while he endures legal accusations. Hunter is innocent until proven guilty, and Joe has always been innocent.
