Some Democrats decry party’s unwillingness to break with Biden

Democrats Divided Over Biden’s Pardon of Son

Following President Joe Biden’s controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, Democrats find themselves embroiled in internal conflict over how to respond to the decision. The lack of a unified message within the party has exposed deep divisions in the aftermath of their loss in the 2024 presidential race.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries refrained from directly criticizing Biden but called for additional pardons for individuals facing “unjustly aggressive prosecutions for nonviolent offenses”. On the other hand, California Governor Gavin Newsom openly expressed his disappointment, stating that he trusted the President’s previous assurances that he would not pardon his son.

While some Democrats, including potential 2028 hopefuls, chose to remain silent or defended Biden’s actions, there were those within the party who condemned the decision. Kurt Ehrenberg, a former adviser to Bernie Sanders, characterized the pardon as a deliberate act of defiance against the Democratic Party that ousted Biden.

One veteran Democratic strategist, speaking on condition of anonymity, criticized the pardon as a troubling feature of the Biden presidency, highlighting the lack of dissent within the party ranks. The strategist emphasized the potential long-term repercussions of the pardon, particularly in light of bipartisan backlash against it.

Several party members, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Governor Jared Polis, publicly broke ranks with the President, denouncing the pardon as setting a dangerous precedent. The decision to pardon Hunter Biden, who faced federal tax and gun charges, has raised concerns about accountability and the rule of law within the Democratic Party.

Despite the controversy surrounding the pardon, many top Democrats have chosen to avoid commenting on the issue, underscoring the challenges of addressing internal discord within the party. The reluctance of potential 2028 candidates to speak out on the matter suggests a lack of clear leadership and vision within the Democratic ranks.

President Biden’s defense of the pardon, citing political motivations behind his son’s prosecution, has further complicated the party’s response. While some believe the issue will fade from public attention in the coming weeks, others argue that it could serve as an opportunity for Democrats to engage in meaningful discussions about addiction, incarceration, and mental health.

As the party grapples with the fallout from Biden’s pardon, questions remain about the impact of the decision on future elections and the party’s ability to navigate internal divisions. Whether the pardon will be a lasting stain on the Democratic Party or a passing controversy remains to be seen.
