The Spin
Republican narrative
Biden may be shocked that he wasn't able to use his privilege to have this case dismissed, but his weak attempt has fallen flat on its face. It's about time Biden is being held accountable for not paying his taxes. But there's still a strong chance the Democrat-sympathizing Justice Department will still do what it can to go easy on the president's son.
Democratic narrative
Whatever crimes or misdemeanors the younger Biden has committed, he's an adult and should have to face the music if found guilty. Republicans' attempts to tie Joe Biden to Hunter's missteps, though, are nothing but hypocritical conspiracy theories from the party backing multi-time-indicted former Pres. Donald Trump for the 2024 election.
