Hunter Biden Says He Opposed Joe Biden's 2nd Run as Presidency Took Family Toll

Hunter Biden said in an NPR interview he never wanted Joe Biden to seek a second term, directly rejecting reports that he pushed his father to stay in the race.
NPR quoted Hunter saying the presidency was "all-consuming" and made it nearly impossible for his father to be fully present with family, which he said mattered more than another campaign.
Hunter said he did not ask Joe Biden not to run before the decision because that would have been unfair, given how strongly his father weighed family against public service.
The comments extend Hunter Biden's recent public speaking after Joe Biden granted him a full federal pardon in December 2024, with Hunter also describing the presidency as compounding his recovery and family struggles.
