As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, the international business activities of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, have become a subject of debate among Americans. House Republicans allege the Biden family has leveraged influence globally, prompting divided opinions on whether Hunter Biden's dealings are a legitimate voter concern.

Some New Yorkers, like Susan, express reservations. While she believes parents shouldn't be held accountable for their adult children's choices, she admits feeling uneasy about any potential connection to President Biden.

Recent reports revealed Hunter Biden's expression of gratitude for lavish gifts from Burisma executive Mykola Zlochevsky in 2016. Shortly after, Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma, was dismissed. President Biden later publicly stated his role in pressuring Ukraine for Shokin's removal, citing concerns about the prosecutor's effectiveness in combating corruption.

Outside of New York, perspectives vary. Verdena from North Carolina believes Hunter Biden's business activities warrant scrutiny due to perceived ties with China and other international actors. Conversely, Vincent from New York feels that unless President Biden's direct involvement is established, the matter remains private.

Adding to the discourse, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) asserts that the Biden family's influence peddling is a widespread issue being concealed by the President's position. However, others like Matt from North Carolina downplay the significance of Hunter Biden's activities.

The debate continues as to whether Hunter Biden's business dealings are a relevant factor for voters in the upcoming election.
