The inner world of the Democratic Party's presidential campaign was shaken by unexpected revelations from Hunter Biden about his father's health condition during a key political moment.
In an exclusive interview, Hunter Biden revealed details about a failed presidential discussion that became a turning point in Joe Biden's political career. According to his words, the president at that time was extremely exhausted after intensive international travels, which amount to approximately three trips around the globe.
The critical moment occurred when the 81-year-old politician was prescribed sleeping medications from the "Ambien" group to recover. When Biden got on stage during the debates, he was in a state of complete shock and disorientation.
The official presidential team initially did not comment on Hunter's claims, with Joe Biden earlier explaining what happened as a classic jet lag syndrome.
Weeks after the discussion, the president personally admitted that he did not listen to his team's advice and almost fell asleep during his public appearance. Subsequently, serious pressure was exerted on him to withdraw from the presidential race.
Less than a month after the unfortunate debate, Biden officially withdrew due to lagging in public opinion polls. His deputy Kamala Harris took over as the presidential candidate but was subsequently defeated by Donald Trump.
In the same interview, Hunter expressed sharp disappointment with Democratic circles who abandoned his father. He was especially critical of actor George Clooney, who published an opinion in the "New York Times" insisting on Biden's withdrawal.
According to a recently published book, the president's health condition had deteriorated so much that he could not even recognize the names of his closest associates. His advisors even discussed his potential movement in a wheelchair after a potential election victory.
Hunter Biden's dramatic revelations shed new light on the backstage processes during the presidential campaign and raise serious questions about the political fitness of high-ranking government officials.
