Story
Biden's Pardon of Hunter Biden Meets 20% Approval, Sparks Trump Precedent Concerns
Dec 11, 2024, 02:32 PM
President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for all crimes committed or potentially committed over an 11-year span has met with significant public disapproval. According to a recent AP-NORC poll, only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of the pardon, with Biden having previously promised he would not take such action. Critics argue that the pardon sets a 'broad new precedent' and could influence former President Donald Trump to issue similar pardons for his supporters involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. Despite the backlash, the White House has defended the decision, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre citing a YouGov poll suggesting 64% of Americans support the move. However, the AP-NORC poll indicates a stark contrast, revealing a widespread public opposition to what is perceived as an abuse of presidential power.
