Joe Biden's Controversial Pardon Decision
President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, has ignited significant controversy within the Democratic Party. Many Democrats feel betrayed by Biden, as he previously assured that he would not issue a pardon, a point that was painfully highlighted when Representative Dan Goldman was forced to confront his past statements on CNN. The fallout from this decision raises questions about the integrity of Biden's campaign promises and how it may affect his party's standing moving forward. Pollster Nate Silver has warned that any potential Democratic nominee in 2028 who does not address this issue promptly may face repercussions in their political future.
