Hunter Biden started posting on X last month for the first time and has unleashed his thoughts on CNN anchor Jake Tapper, MAGA, and now one of President Donald Trump's closest advisors — Stephen Miller.

On Thursday, Biden took issue with one of Trump's longest-running insiders and White House chief of staff in a blunt comment in response to a user named Case on X, who said, "gonna need Hunter Biden to also call Stephen Miller an ugly f---."

"Stephen Miller is an ugly f---," Biden said in a cheeky response....

At a state dinner in December 2022, Jill Biden surprised French President Emmanuel Macron, former U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi — and her own husband Joe Biden — when she firmly indicated the then 80-year-old U.S. President would run for another four-year term, a new book says.

Joe Biden looked “like he didn't understand,” another guest is quoted as saying, adding that they rescued the awkward moment by hastily proposing a toast to “four more years” which the president and first lady joined.

“Without her support, it would be impossible for him to continue in the race.”...

Democratic leaders rallied Sunday behind President Joe Biden following his poor debate performance last week, as the White House denied a report he was meeting with family to assess his candidacy.

No major party figures have broken ranks to call for Biden to step down, with prominent Democrats including past presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton voicing full-throated support amid a torrent of doubts from everyday Americans — and even a call from the New York Times editorial board to move aside.

The wave of party backing follows the 81-year-old’s stumbling performance Thursday in the debate against Republican candidate Donald Trump, in which Biden often hesitated, tripped over words and lost his train of thought, highlighting concerns about his age...
