Biden braces for Trump's attacks on Hunter at debate

Donald Trump has made clear he’s coming after Hunter Biden at Thursday’s debate for allegedly profiting off his father’s position. And 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. When it comes to kids and alleged conflicts of interest, they say, look no further than Ivanka Trump. While serving as a White House official, she won three new trademarks in China on the same day she met China’s president, Xi Jinping.

make a total ass out of himself. The best moment of the first debate was when Joe looked directly into the camera and defended Hunter and declared his love for his son.

As far as the Burisma angle, it has been investigated and no wrongdoing has been found.

Trump needs to clean his own house before he goes after Hunter.

They care about their kids.

I have plans to help families afford college, put food on the table, get kids off meth, get them back to in person school safely, make their lives better.

You are focused on my kid and I’m worried about the kids of every American family.

"Some allies have been pressing the Biden camp..."

Could mean literally anything. Garbage story.
