NBC’s “Meet the Press” host, Chuck Todd, has raised concerns about President Biden’s electability in light of the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s activities. Todd discussed the matter on his show, acknowledging the appointment of special counsel David Weiss by Attorney General Merrick Garland to further investigate Hunter Biden. He noted that the investigation has captured the attention of voters, potentially damaging President Biden’s reputation.

Todd highlighted President Biden’s handling of the case which has prompted questions about his age and political standing. Specifically, Todd mentioned instances where President Biden brought his son to a state dinner shortly after a plea deal that later collapsed. Despite Hunter Biden’s guilty plea, President Biden has consistently defended his son against allegations.

NBC political analyst Brendan Buck echoed the sentiment that the White House should address the matter with greater seriousness, especially as the investigations gain more visibility. Buck emphasized the strategic nature of politics, pointing out that opponents often seek to exploit perceived weaknesses.

However, the appointment of the special counsel has faced criticism from Republicans who argue that it could impede congressional investigations into Hunter Biden. Some, like Sen. Lindsey Graham, labeled the move as a “dumb political decision” that fails to effectively address the issues at hand.

The unfolding situation surrounding the investigation of Hunter Biden underscores the intricacies involved in politics and legal proceedings, potentially impacting the image and future prospects of the Biden administration.
