.POTUS Biden's work with HouseGOP will be affected by its investigations of his son
It’s a contradiction that dates back to Biden’s 36 years as the Democratic senator from Delaware and his eight years as President Barack Obama's vice president. It also was at the heart of Biden's 2020 campaign for the presidency. Biden, in his successful run against former President Donald Trump, simultaneously pledged to be an institutionalist who could work across the aisle and a transformational progressive on the order of President Franklin D.
“The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges,” the Washington Post reported in October. Republicans seizing control of House committees and the corresponding subpoena power will add an earlier step. While conceding the optics are poor, many Democrats think Hunter Biden is no worse than past first-family black sheep, such as Billy Carter or Roger Clinton.
“The president is going to have a hard time keeping his famous temper in check,” said a Democrat close to the White House. “Understandably so.”
