The Spin

While Republicans remain obsessed with their favorite punching bag — the 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.

These are challenging times for the Biden family. Hunter Biden had his motion rejected in advance of joining his father at the Democratic National Convention, where the elder Biden had to pass the baton to a new nominee after being forced out. 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.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 25% chance that Pres. Joe Biden will grant a pardon or commutation to Hunter Biden before Jan. 21, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
