Biden Braces for Trump’s Attacks on Hunter

October 21, 2020 · 1:32 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “Joe Biden would seem to have an easy comeback: Look at what your own kids have done since you became president. So far, though, Biden has refused to go there. And he’s likely to maintain that posture during the debate, according to advisers and allies, despite a vow by Trump’s campaign that ‘there will be no escape’ for Biden from questions about his son’s business dealings.”

“Biden’s advisers say that any time spent on issues besides the coronavirus or the economy is lost time. As much as possible, Biden should keep the focus on the president’s biggest liabilities, they say. Yet some allies have been pressing the Biden camp to go harder against Trump’s children considering how aggressively the president is attacking his.”
