Hunter Biden Blames Democrats For Abandoning Father, Losing Election

Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election because they “did not remain loyal” to the presidential nominee, Hunter Biden said in a podcast interview.

“We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party,” Hunter said. “We had the advantage of  incumbency. We had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down.”

The son of Joe Biden blamed top Democrats for abandoning his father, former President Joe Biden.

“They had clearly made a decision. And when I say they, I mean the speaker,” Hunter said, referring to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Hunter made the comments on the “At Our Table” podcast hosted by Jaime Harrison, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee. Harrison interviewed Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the podcast’s first episode.

Hunter said the Democratic Party supported Biden, but Democrat elites rejected him.

“You know who stood by us? Who? Black caucus, Hispanic caucus, the progressive caucus, the Democratic Party,” Hunter said. “That’s the Democratic Party. You know who didn’t stand by us? The fundraisers, the elite, the people that are the insiders, the people that say they’re not part of the beltway, but you know where they are? They’re living in Beverly Hills telling you or me what it is that real people care about.”

Hunter rejected claims that his father experienced mental decline during his presidency.

“We watched him get old in front  of our eyes. And that does not mean that you’re incapacitated,” Hunter said. “Your gate changes. It does not mean that you do not have the mental capacity to be able to do your job.”

Both Biden’s physician and a top aide for former first lady Jill Biden have pleaded the fifth in hearings about the state of Biden’s mental capacity, The Daily Wire previously reported.

Biden struggled to finish sentences and had to be helped off the stage after a debate with President Donald Trump in June 2024. The debate led to Biden stepping down as the presidential nominee.

But Hunter still said he thinks his father “could have won.”

“We could have survived if it weren’t for the fact that we decided that — people in the Democratic party — were not going to allow it to happen,” Hunter said.

Hunter said there was no conspiracy about his father’s mental state.

“What sells is the idea of a conspiracy. What sells is a cover up,” Hunter said. “Do you realize the the daily touch points that he had with people — that, by the way were not necessarily loyal to him — every single day, hundreds of people every single day during that period of time. And you can’t get one of them to go on the record.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released a video supercut Monday of Democrats defending and covering up Biden’s clear mental decline.

Hunter said critics did not “understand” Biden.

“What I think is this is that in their hearts these people have a hole and they can’t understand that Joe Biden is actually who he says he is,” Hunter said.

Biden has been caught lying about himself multiple times, including claiming he used to drive 18-wheelers and appearing to claim his son Beau Biden was killed in Iraq.
