Hunter Biden’s legal issues are causing concern for Democrats, as they fear it could damage President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
The situation adds to existing challenges such as the president’s low approval ratings, economic concerns, and questions about his age and fitness for the job.
Some Democrats believe that the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s financial dealings could have a similar impact as Hillary Clinton’s emails did in 2016. (Trending: Democrat Excludes White People From Holiday Party In Controversial Email)

“I have a pit in my stomach about it,” a Democrat strategist said.
“The email controversy was silly but it was made to be a distraction and it worked.”
“This Hunter story has the legs to ruin things for Biden,” they added.
“Hunter Biden isn’t the biggest political problem that his father faces but the situation is an unwelcome distraction for an embattled president burdened by concerns about the economy and age,” Democrat strategist Brad Bannon stated.
“The controversy about Hunter Biden’s financial dealings might play the same role for Republicans that Hillary Clinton’s emails did in 2016,” Bannon added.
“I don’t know whether or not it’s hurting him,” ouse Oversight Ranking Member Jamie Raskin said.
“I hope that the American people are able to see past it.”
“They figure this is their best shot, to create a dark cloud over the Biden family and hope that that affects Joe,” he added.
Polls also show that many Americans are skeptical of both Hunter and Joe Biden, indicating potential challenges for the Biden administration.
