EXCLUSIVE PICS: Hunter Biden on the other side of the country while dad fights for political life

Fox News Digital exclusive photos show Hunter Biden out and about in Los Angeles while his father, President Joe Biden, remained hunkered down on the other side of the country, battling to save his legacy. The younger Biden, who has reportedly been closely advising his father as a chorus of key Democrats call on him to end his re-election bid, was seen shopping Friday and leaving the home of “Sugar Bro” Kevin Morris, the entertainment lawyer who funded his defense in a recent criminal trial. President Biden has reportedly relied heavily on his troubled Yale Law graduate son and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, as he tries to fend off claims he is not mentally fit to serve another four years as president. The calls reached a crescendo following his disastrous performance in his June 27 debate against former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. The president is spending the weekend at his vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Hunter Biden started sitting in on meetings between his father and close staff at the White House just a week after the debate, with one White House source telling NBC at the time the sudden presence caused confusion and prompted many to ask “What the hell is happening?”  Biden appeared to rely on his son not only in those meetings, but on phone calls as well, sources had reported.  JD VANCE, OTHERS SAY BIDEN SHOULD RESIGN PRESIDENCY IF HE DROPS OUT OF THE RACE Hunter Biden was also reported to be one of the biggest advocates for his father staying in the race during a gathering at Camp David in the aftermath of the president’s poor debate performance, with some critics arguing the president using his son as a top adviser has become a conflict of interest. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., responded to Hunter Biden’s involvement in these top-level meetings by labeling him “a walking national security threat.” BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN ISSUES A RESPONSE AFTER TRUMP’S RNC SPEECH Some have alleged that Hunter Biden is seeking to have his father pardon him for two cases brought against him in Delaware and California, even trying to request the cases dismissed in the same manner as those involving former President Trump. DEMOCRATS PLOT COUP TO ‘SAVE DEMOCRACY,’ BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY FAIL? His lawyers are requesting that both federal cases be thrown out, arguing that Special Counsel David Weiss was illegally appointed. Hunger Biden was convicted last month on three felony charges related to a handgun purchase in 2018, and a case in California about alleged federal tax crimes is ongoing.  “It’s just a pure and simple massive interest in his dad staying president so he can pardon not only Hunter, but Joe and the rest of the family for the crimes they committed, and probably Merrick Garland, too, for his role in the cover-up,” Mike Howell, the executive director of the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital earlier this month.  Hunter Biden was found guilty on all charges in the Delaware gun case, including counts of making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Tudor Dixon previews what to expect at Trump’s first campaign rally since assassination attempt

Tudor Dixon previews what to expect at Trump’s first campaign rally since assassination attempt

MILWAUKEE – Former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon will be in attendance at former President Trump’s highly anticipated rally in Michigan on Saturday and she revealed what she expects to see in the wake of the failed attempt on his life. “I think we feel good because it’s inside, and so I feel like there’s more control when it’s inside, when you’re inside a building like that,” Dixon said during an interview with Fox News Digital, referring to safety concerns for the event.  “So I feel like there’s going to be a lot of eyeballs on the Secret Service. Obviously, they’re going to change their protocols and make sure there’s as much as possible. If you look around here [the RNC Convention], everybody has to feel secure. Every time you turn around. There’s not just a police officers, there’s a group of police officers or the Secret Service around the perimeter. So I feel like we are incredibly safe.” Dixon said she expects to hear a speech centered around unity and the appeal of newly nominated vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who will be speaking at the rally in Grand Rapids. JD VANCE BY THE NUMBERS: FIRST SPEECH SIGNALS HEAVY CAMPAIGN PRESENCE IN BATTLEGROUND RUST BELT “It’ll be so exciting to have him and J.D. Vance in Michigan for their first rally after the announcement that he is the vice presidential nominee,” Dixon said. “I think it’s going to be a message of unity, but I think it’s also going to be a strong message for manufacturing in the Midwest with J.D.” Dixon said that Vance helps form an “incredibly strong ticket” that will be a “very big challenge” for Democrats in swing states. ADAM SCHIFF CALLS ON BIDEN TO EXIT PRESIDENTIAL RACE AS DEM CONFIDENCE DWINDLES ” I just overall think that they’re seeing a lot of support for the Republican Party amongst young people,” Dixon said. “That’s always been their demographic, and they’re losing it right now, so they’re getting pretty desperate.” Trump plans to hold the rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on July 20 with Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, whom the former president chose as his running mate Monday, marking his first campaign appearance with Vance as his vice presidential candidate. The rally will be held inside the Van Andel Arena, with Secret Service officials recently warning the Trump campaign against holding outdoor rallies.

GOP Senate candidate says Trump/Vance rally in his swing state a sign to voters that ‘help is on the way’

GOP Senate candidate says Trump/Vance rally in his swing state a sign to voters that ‘help is on the way’

As Republicans aim to win back the Senate majority in this autumn’s elections, they’re eyeing Michigan, where longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow isn’t seeking re-election this year. The state is also a key presidential election battleground state that former President Trump narrowly carried in 2016 and President Biden won by a razor-thin margin four years later. Trump and his new running-mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, are coming to Michigan on Saturday, to hold their first rally since Thursday’s conclusion of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS REPORTING FROM THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL “Michigan is going to be critically important,” former Rep. Mike Rogers, the front-runner for the GOP Senate nomination, emphasized in a Fox News Digital interview. Rogers, a one-time FBI special agent who later served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee during his tenure in Congress, will be at the rally on Saturday. He argued that “all of the coalitions of the Democrats are falling apart. Why. Because they haven’t delivered.” And he said that having Trump back in Michigan – for the third time since April – gives him and other Republicans down-ballot a boost by telling voters that “help is on the way. We’ve got your back. Here are the policies that are going to make your lives better.” Trump’s stop in Grand Rapids is also his second in the southwestern Michigan city since April. But President Biden’s campaign, in a statement on the eve of the Trump-Vance rally, charged that the former president’s agenda “would hurt workers, raise costs on working families while giving handouts to billionaires, and destroy unions.” Rogers will face off in Michigan’s August 6 primary against a GOP Senate field that includes wealthy investor and entrepreneur Sandy Pensler, former Rep. Justin Amash, and physician Sherry O’Donnell. He enjoys the backing of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is the Senate GOP’s campaign arm. And in March, he landed the endorsement of Trump. “We’re doing exceptionally well in the primary,” said Rogers, who was interviewed in Milwaukee on Wednesday ahead of his speech at the convention that evening. He predicted that “we’re going to win the primary but we still need people to come out and get fired up.” The eventual Republican nominee will likely face off in November with Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin, the clear front-runner for her party’s Senate nomination. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
