A senior Democratic figure has publicly condemned Hunter Biden for his recent comments about President Joe Biden's alleged use of sleeping pills, describing them as 'regrettable' and damaging to the party's image.
The remarks, made during a recent interview, have sparked a fresh wave of controversy surrounding the Biden family, with critics seizing on the claims to question the President's fitness for office.
'These comments are not only unhelpful but deeply regrettable,' the unnamed Democrat told reporters. 'At a time when the party needs unity, this kind of speculation only serves to undermine confidence in the President.'
Political analysts suggest the incident could further fuel Republican attacks on the Biden administration, particularly regarding the President's age and health.
White House officials have declined to comment on the specific allegations about sleeping pill use, maintaining their standard position of not addressing personal medical matters.
The controversy comes as President Biden prepares for what promises to be a challenging re-election campaign, with polls showing voter concerns about his age and stamina.
