Chris Coons dismisses impact of Hunter Biden investigation on Joe Biden’s reelection.

Sen. Chris Coons Defends President Biden’s Reelection Campaign

Sen. Chris ⁣Coons (D-DE) passionately⁤ defended⁣ President Joe Biden’s bid for reelection,‍ assuring that the ​ongoing investigation into Hunter ​Biden will not impact the president’s leadership in‌ the Oval Office.

“There’s no ties ‌between ⁢President Biden ​and his⁤ conduct as president and ⁤these​ regrettable⁢ matters with Hunter ⁤Biden,” ‍Coons emphasized during his‌ appearance on ABC’s This Week on Sunday.

Coons expressed admiration for President Biden’s unwavering support for his son’s journey towards​ resolution and recovery. He firmly believes that this support does not implicate the president’s ability to lead and is confident that it will not ⁣affect his chances of reelection.

“Hunter⁤ Biden is not going to be​ on the​ election polls,” Coons clarified. “He is not standing for election next November. Donald Trump likely is, and the four different legal matters where Donald Trump has⁣ been charged with‍ 83 counts stand in ⁣stark contrast.”

Coons highlighted the stark contrast between Hunter Biden, who is not running ⁢for office, and ⁣former President Donald Trump, who is facing multiple legal battles and numerous criminal counts.

Regarding the​ investigation led by ‍David Weiss, Coons affirmed President Biden’s commitment ​to staying out‍ of it, allowing the Department⁤ of Justice to ​conduct⁤ their five-year investigation ‌independently.

“He is committed to staying⁢ out of this, to allowing the Department of Justice to conduct what has‌ now been a five-year investigation and to ⁣move forward with ⁢this matter as they should,” Coons ​stated. “And I think⁣ that stands in‌ sharp contrast to his predecessor who‌ interfered ⁣in ​lots of matters at the Department of Justice.”

In recent developments, Hunter Biden ⁢has been charged with two ⁣misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense. Despite a failed⁤ plea bargain, he‌ pleaded not guilty to the tax crimes. The pressure on the Biden family increased when⁤ Attorney General Merrick Garland ‍appointed​ a ‍special counsel to investigate⁢ Hunter Biden in ‌mid-August.

The special counsel has announced plans to ‍indict ⁣Hunter Biden on a gun charge ‍by ‍the end of the month.

While concerns about Biden’s reelection viability have arisen​ due to a drop in ​his approval rating to⁢ 39%, according ⁣to a CNN‌ poll, Coons remains confident in the president’s ability to overcome ⁤these challenges.
