Several Democrats have said that President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, could harm the party or even the country moving forward.

The president said in a Dec. 1 statement that he was pardoning Hunter Biden for his tax evasion and gun convictions, along with any other potential crimes he may have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024.
