Washington’s Response to Hunter Biden’s Pardon: Insights from the Politics Desk


In the latest edition of the From the Politics Desk newsletter, the NBC News Politics team covers President Joe Biden’s controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. Some Democrats are bristling at the justification provided for the pardon, as Biden had previously stated he would not use his executive authority to pardon or commute his son’s sentence. The pardon has been criticized for going against core Democratic Party policies and potentially playing into attacks on the Department of Justice’s independence.

Additionally, the newsletter explores three major polling trends that defined the 2024 presidential election. Polls accurately reflected an electorate that saw the country headed in the wrong direction, with Biden’s approval rating remaining low. The polls also highlighted demographic trends, including Trump’s gains with Latino voters and discrepancies in male and female voter support for Harris and Trump. While there was some overestimation of the gender gap in the polls, combining it with education and race provided a clearer picture of political preferences.

The newsletter also covers other top stories, including blowback from GOP lawmakers on Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden, a Supreme Court dispute over flavored e-cigarettes, preparations for a potential second Trump administration, and Biden’s visit to Angola. Readers are encouraged to provide feedback and share the newsletter with others. To receive the newsletter daily, readers can sign up via email.
