Democratic insiders were bristling at the presence of Hunter Biden at the starry White House reception for Jewish American Heritage Month this week, we hear.
One Democratic operator told us of the first son’s presence and the political optics, “It’s such a blind spot … It’s not exactly the look people need or want.”
The source said of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., “Hunter is there a lot — his dad is president — but this was public.”
The source added that the presidential election campaigns could be boiled down to: “One guy is on trial, the other guy’s son has a trial starting in a month.”
While Donald Trump’s hush money trial is wrapping up in New York, Biden’s gun charges case heads to court in early June and his tax fraud trial starts in September.
Hunter was also expected at a state dinner for the president of Kenya on Thursday, where Attorney General Merrick Garland was also a guest. Garland had also attended the Rose Garden event.
Along with Hunter, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff met with Julia Haart, Tiffany Haddish, Ginnifer Goodwin and Jewish leaders and activists at the earlier event.
