The Spin

While Republicans remain obsessed with their favorite punching bag — the Democratic president's son — it's no surprise a Trump-appointed judge refused to apply the same legal theory to Biden's case as the Florida judge did in Trump's. Whether it's this case or the House GOP's so-called dossier accusing the Biden family of a criminal conspiracy, there's seemingly no end to the attacks the Republicans will fire at the First Family for political points.

The Daily Beast

There are hard times for the Biden family. Hunter Biden had his motion rejected and then he had to go be with his father at the Democratic National Convention, where the elder Biden had to pass the baton to a new nominee after being forced out. Perhaps if the younger Biden hadn't been such a screw-up he wouldn't have gun convictions on his record and wouldn't be facing a tax-evasion trial next month.
