2020 Biden voters in Pennsylvania weigh in on Hunter Biden, Biden impeachment inquiry
CBSN
Democratic and independent voters in southeast Pennsylvania who say they voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and who could be important to his reelection hopes weighed in on the president and his son, Hunter Biden, after the younger Biden's indictment on a felony gun charge last week for allegedly lying on a gun purchase form about drug use. Two days earlier, House Republicans had announced they were opening an impeachment inquiry into the president over allegations that he profited off his son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
CBS News spoke to about 30 Pennsylvanians, and every one of them said they were aware of the legal troubles surrounding the president's son. Many said they were cognizant of the younger Biden's struggles with drug addiction. And they tended to see the the president's loyalty to his son as a positive attribute.
"I think it's unfortunate that [Hunter Biden] tried to buy a gun and lied about it," Kurt Haltiwanger told CBS News, but he added, "I think it's to President Biden's credit that he stands by his son."
