Hunter Biden is desperately urging his father, Joe Biden, to remain in the presidential race despite his disastrous performance at last week’s presidential debate.
Biden had met with several members of the Biden family at Camp David to discuss the next course of action amid mounting calls from senior Democrats for him to step down.
The New York Times reported that the meeting included Biden’s wife, First Lady Jill Biden, and their children, son Hunter Biden and daughter Ashley Biden.
Despite questions concerning Biden’s ability to serve a second term as president, the e Biden family is reportedly encouraging the president “to stay in the race and keep fighting,” with Hunter Biden being “one of the strongest voices,” a source told the Times.
The outlet also added that several members of the Biden family and Democrats, including Democrat fundraiser John Morgan, blamed former White House chief of staff Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to Biden, and Bob Bauer, Biden’s attorney, for Biden’s poor debate performance.
Biden underwent “intensive preparation and coaching” at Camp David before ultimately being destroyed by former President Donald Trump at the debate.
In an interview, Morgan stated:
“It would be like if you took a prizefighter who was going to have a title fight and put him in a sauna for 15 hours then said, ‘Go fight,'” according to the outlet.
According to hedge fund owner and major Democrat donor Doug Kass, Obama called Biden to a “crisis meeting” last week.
Kass claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is “furious” that she is not being considered a replacement for Biden.
What I am hearing regarding Joe Biden. Ron Klain and Barack Obama are having a sit down with the President today. Jill Biden is insistent that Joe runs. Kamala is furious that she is not being considered as a replacement (Whitmer and Newsom are). Interestingly my neighbor in…

As we reported on Monday, Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker wrote that the only answer to save Biden is by putting Hillary Clinton on the ticket with him as VP.
The problem isn’t his numerical age,” Parker wrote.
“People age in different ways. In some cases, people hardly age at all, they’re so physically fit and mentally astute. But even the most robust 80-year-old would be challenged to keep pace with the White House job. Far younger presidents have turned gray in the Oval Office.”
“Biden’s steady decline the past few years — his stumbles, his search for words, his occasional blank stare — has been impossible to ignore. Such change isn’t a reflection of character; it’s part of the natural order of life, and it isn’t ageist to take note,” she added.
