Hunter Biden claims Democrats lost because they weren't loyal to his father

Former President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, claimed during an interview that the Democratic Party lost because they weren't loyal to his father, accusing them of "melting down."

"We lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party," Hunter said during a podcast hosted by former DNC chair Jaime Harrison, the Washington Post reported. "That’s my position. We had the advantage of incumbency, we had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down."

The Post published excerpts of the conversation on Harrison's new podcast, "At Our Table," and the full conversation is set to be released on Thursday.

The Democratic Party started to turn on then-President Biden after the disastrous June 2024 debate. The former president ultimately ended up dropping out of the race following weeks of pressure from his allies.

Top leaders such as Sen. Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and more pushed the president to exit the race. 

The latest book on the 2024 election, written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, revealed that Hunter had told his father he supported him no matter what his decision would be after the debate. 

According to the book, Hunter told Joe, "I sure would love having you back."

The president's son was convicted in two federal cases in 2024. He was first found guilty in June on three felony charges for federal gun violations and pleaded guilty in September in a separate felony tax case. Biden decided to pardon his son in November.

Hunter Biden also spoke to Harrison about the many books written about the 2024 campaign, including Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book, which focused on the cover-up of the former president's decline. 

"What sells, Jaime? What sells is the idea of a conspiracy," Hunter said of the books. He said it was impossible to keep a secret in Washington. 

Hunter Biden also pushed back on claims that he was like a "chief of staff" to the former president.

"You think Jake Tapper’s telling the truth when he says that I was the acting chief of staff of the president’s? I was in that White House 12 days over the course of the last two years of the administration. Clearly, because I had other things going on, OK?" Hunter Biden said, according to The Hill.

"You ask one person to go on the record that would ever tell you that I was in any way making a single decision about anything, anything in that White House," the younger Biden added. "I stayed as far away as I possibly could. Which, by the way, broke my heart."

How Kai Trump's heartfelt RNC speech unexpectedly launched her successful content creator journey

When Kai Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee last July, she spoke from the heart about her grandfather, then-former President Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt earlier that month. 

What Trump didn’t expect was that her social media platforms exploded from her speech, and in turn, her content-creator dream blossomed.

Today, Trump sports over 6 million followers across her TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channels. YouTube, specifically, has been a place where she peels back the curtain on her life, from playing rounds of golf with Rory McIlroy and famous YouTube golfers, to walking out to UFC 314 with her grandfather.

While Trump is an avid golfer, who just signed an NIL partnership with Accelerator Active Energy ahead of enrolling at the University of Miami in 2026, she has a deep passion for content creation and has loved watching her platform grow.

"It’s been very fun growing it, especially after the RNC and how everything fell into place and I finally had more time to do content creation," she said. "And I always wanted to do it in my life, so it was really cool to have an opportunity to do it. But it’s been amazing to build a fan base, be a role model for people to look up to as well – younger kids in general. It’s been really cool."

Every content creator will say they simply have to take a leap of faith when it comes to posting videos. It requires a certain kind of confidence, which Trump showed on that RNC stage.

Some may have been terrified by speaking to thousands while millions at home were also watching, but not Trump, who has taken that confidence into her content-creation journey.

"The RNC, to be honest with you, I wasn’t really nervous," she said. "I don’t know why, but speaking from the heart, it was very easy to go up there and talk about the situation that happened and talk about my grandpa. Speaking in public and content creation is very similar. 

"You have to talk in front of a camera, you’ve got to learn how to engage with the audience and you to do that through your camera or with public speaking."

Trump gets millions of views on her videos, whether it’s short ones for TikToks or long day-in-the-life posts on YouTube. No matter the length, she’s received a ton of engagement, and her fans have liked how candid she is about her life. 

"My whole life, I’ve just always kind of been around just a lot – a lot of things going on and moving [around]," she said. "I love content creation just because I can share the inside of my life, but I can also interact with the base I’ve built and my community. I think that’s really cool, and obviously I’m very, very thankful for my supporters and all those people who watch my videos. 

"I’m extremely grateful for everyone supporting me. I fell in love with it just because it’s really cool to film video and all of a sudden edit it, go through that process, post it and see the end result. It’s really cool, especially when you have people interacting with it."

Trump will be heading to Miami in 2026, where she said her golf career will be "my first priority." However, as long as she has the time, content creation will always be something she wants to pursue.
