Overview

  • On The Chuck ToddCast, Todd declared he will never host Hunter Biden, noting the former first son is not an elected candidate and lacks substantive policy insights.
  • He described Hunter Biden’s July 21 interviews on Channel 5 and the At Our Table podcast as designed for attention rather than revealing new information.
  • Todd criticized podcasters and networks for choosing “spectacle” over substantive discussion by giving Hunter Biden a platform to air personal grievances.
  • He warned that these high-profile appearances do little to help Hunter Biden, damage President Biden’s public standing, or improve the Democratic Party’s fortunes.
  • Todd reiterated his long-standing view that Joe and Jill Biden’s family was unprepared for the pressures of a presidential campaign and its aftermath.
