President Biden took a leisurely bike ride in Delaware on Wednesday, accompanied by Secret Service agents and medical staffers in golf carts. As he cycled past the White House press corps, the president cheerfully greeted reporters and asked about their well-being.
A single Secret Service agent followed Biden on a bike, while a procession of other bikers and golf carts trailed behind, carrying additional agents and medical staff.
During his stay in Delaware, the president faces a growing scandal involving his son, Hunter Biden’s business dealings, especially in Ukraine. Recently, Devon Archer, a former associate of Hunter Biden, testified in a closed-door congressional meeting, revealing that Biden had been in phone contact with his son’s business partners approximately 20 times over a span of 10 years. Republicans are pointing to this testimony as evidence of Biden’s involvement, contradicting the president’s previous claims of not being engaged in his son’s business affairs.
In response, Democrats seek to downplay the significance of the testimony, asserting that while Biden did communicate with Hunter’s business partners, he was not actively involved in their transactions. They argue that these calls were often casual and included simple greetings or social exchanges.
However, Republican critics argue that these phone conversations might have unintentionally aided Hunter’s business deals, creating an impression that he could influence his father’s policy decisions. As the controversy continues to unfold, President Biden carries on with his activities in Delaware, while the situation remains a topic of attention and debate from both sides of the political spectrum.
