Biden faces 'major political blowback' if he flip-flops on Hunter pardon: experts
Fox News
Elections experts are warning that President Biden could face major "political blowback" should he decide to pardon his son, Hunter, following his conviction on federal charges.
"I don't think that American voters really care very much about the gun charges. What they care about is the influence peddling, and these business dealings that have been covert. So, I think with a pardon, that immediately feeds into how there is impropriety going on with this family," Republican strategist Tricia McLaughlin told Fox.

"I don't even know if people are going to be paying attention at all to these gun charges, but I think that there would be major political backlash," she said, adding the trial had already led to more questions surrounding Hunter's infamous laptop.
