He's doing a huge PR blitz lately, he's angling for something and political office is the most obvious reason. Even if he's just testing the waters.
He was forcibly dragged into politics by republicans. Even if he never runs he still would need to keep up a PR campaign just to survive the attention of being a gop boogie man.
Eh, that's fair. I'd be surprised if he can pull it off though.
Like, look, you give me a dyed-in-the-wool socialist who fully believes in good things, I genuinely think his past would be a non-issue. Like, if people can rally behind Graham Planter, people could rally behind Hunter Biden, comparing pasts only. And that's only if Hunter Biden had like fucking immaculate beliefs... Which he doesn't. As it stands, he loves and supports his dad's legacy too much to attract any leftists (let alone some of the odious beliefs he holds in line with his father), and is actually too scandalous for his establishment roots. His saving grace is, being the black sheep of his family, I doubt he's had access to enough yes-men who would convince him otherwise? Idk.
My money is on, he sees how he rides his dad's name, he sees how that name doesn't mean shit anymore to anyone with power, and is looking to be a left-ish influencer. This is all my opinion anyways.
