WASHINGTON — Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter talk every day, typically a fast check-in initiated by the Democratic presidential nominee, often from the back of a car between campaign stops. Although Mr. Biden tries to touch base with his two grown children and five grandchildren once a day, doling out “I love yous,” Hunter is a special case.
“My only surviving son,” is how the former vice president refers to his “Hunt,” whose battles with addiction have made for a long-running high-wire act within the Biden universe.
The stresses of Mr. Biden’s presidential campaign have made an already complicated father-son relationship even more so. From the outset of the race, President Trump and his allies have made Hunter Biden’s business dealings a centerpiece of their efforts to portray his father as an unscrupulous swamp presence.
Some of the attacks are unfounded, but the facts of Hunter Biden’s troubled life have provided the president with ample fodder. Hunter Biden took a highly paid position with a Ukrainian oligarch regarded by the United States as corrupt, and later acknowledged he most likely got the job because his father was overseeing U.S. policy in the country at the time. He went into business with a number of partners who have subsequently been convicted of unrelated crimes. And his struggles with addiction have contributed to the less admirable lines on his résumé, including his abrupt departure from the Navy Reserve in 2014.
Beyond the attacks, aides say the former vice president agonizes over how his hyper-public position has added to the formidable burdens of being his remaining son. If Hunter sounds down on the phone, Biden aides say, it can send his father into a funk and inflict a melancholy that lingers.

You’d think all those millions would ease the pain.
Joe, nobody wants to ruin your son. You already did.
Now we want you to pay the piper.
I have to visit the store and buy more Kleenex before I can read this Biden puff piece...
;-)
...soft sound of finger violin playing...
He has someone drive him from room to room in his basement???
Yeah must be hard to have a father-son relationship with a son who molested his dead brother’s daughter
If SloJoe actually cared about his son he would send him to rehab. Instead, he sends him around the world to collect the cash.
Joe is a prick. He has continually talked about the drunk driver who killed his wife and child. Except he wasn’t drunk.
Oh brother, “my only surviving son”. MSM won’t run the story but they will run the narrative that Trump is beating on poor Joe’s son. Thereby turning a story of corruption and treason into a story about mean Mr. Trump attacking his opponents child. This may actually sell to suburban women
Oh boohoo, you whiny corrupt jacka*s
Biden is a P.E.R.V.E.R.T...and seems his son has some issues
...and winning the presidency will help? How?
Can someone get me a really big hanky? Joe is throwing a pity party.
Not you, I was talking to Joe.
“ Some of the attacks are unfounded, but the facts of Hunter Biden’s troubled life have provided the president with ample fodder.”
How do they know they are unfounded?
“””Oh brother, “my only surviving son”.””””
I’ve seen that narrative for awhile now on the DNCmedia. If I didn’t know better I would think SloJoe and the DNCmedia were in this together. But they are journalists so that can’t be so.
