Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has suggested that his fight to remain sober is intertwined with defeating former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
In an interview with Axios, Hunter Biden opened up about his struggles with addiction, including his use of cocaine and alcohol. He claimed that his sobriety is now more important than ever, as he sees it as a test of character in the fight for the future of democracy.
But let’s not forget that Hunter Biden is no stranger to controversy. He is currently facing federal indictments for gun and tax charges, yet still manages to snag appearances at the White House. In fact, he has become a regular fixture in the spotlight, despite his ongoing legal troubles.

Last year, Hunter Biden claimed to have not touched drugs or alcohol since June of 2019. However, these claims have been called into question after the Department of Justice released images of “apparent” cocaine and paraphernalia found in his possession. But according to his lawyers, these images are simply “lines of sawdust” that prosecutors confused for cocaine. Right, because I’m sure that’s a common mistake.
What’s more, Hunter Biden’s sobriety may be tested even further as he faces a deposition this week with congressional investigators. This deposition will delve into his foreign business dealings, which have been at the center of a Republican-led House impeachment inquiry against his father over concerns of corruption. Sounds like Hunter Biden’s apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
But despite all of this, Hunter Biden seems to have a sense of responsibility to “everyone struggling through their own recovery” and achieving success. Perhaps it’s because he knows that his sobriety is not only crucial for his personal well-being, but also for the success of his father’s political career. After all, we all know that President Biden has made “saving democracy” a cornerstone of his campaign.
So, will Hunter Biden be able to stay clean and sober in the face of such high stakes? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. The Biden family seems to be riddled with scandals and controversies, and Hunter Biden’s struggle with addiction is just the latest addition.
