Hunter Biden has suggested he may be facing “the ultimate test for a recovering addict,” as slipping back into alcohol and drug abuse could damage his father, Joe Biden, in the upcoming presidential race.
“I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here,” Hunter told Axios, adding: “I have something much bigger than even myself at stake. We are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy.”
The First Son, 54, said he was “in awe of people who have stayed clean and sober through tragedies and obstacles few people ever face,” describing such people as “my heroes, my inspiration.”
Negative commentary on Hunter Biden has not focused primarily on his substance abuse issues, however, except insofar as he has been perceived as receiving special treatment from law enforcement and prosecutors.
House Republicans and others have instead focused on possible impropriety concerning Hunter using his father to secure lucrative business opportunities and allegations his father abused public office to advance his family’s business interests.
