In his first one-on-one interview since announcing a 2024 reelection bid, President Joe Biden defended his son, Hunter, who has faced intense scrutiny by Republicans over his financial dealings, prompting wide-ranging inquiries into Biden and the Biden family by the GOP-led House.
“First of all, my son has done nothing wrong,” Biden said when asked about his son in an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle that aired Friday night. “I trust him. I have faith in him.”
Asked how GOP investigations into the younger Biden are affecting the older Biden’s presidency, the president said it impacts his presidency by “making me feel proud of him.”
Biden’s interview with MSNBC came after he recently announced his re-election campaign for 2024, at a moment when he faces tough political fights surrounding the debt-ceiling and economic policy.
He also defended his running-mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, who he said has “not gotten the credit she deserves” despite her background as a former California attorney general and U.S. Senator.
“She is really very, very good,” Biden said of the vice president. “And with everything going on, she hasn’t gotten the attention she deserves. “
On negotiations to reach a deal on raising the debt ceiling, Biden said he is not yet prepared to invoke the 14th Amendment should Congress remain gridlocked on a solution.
