Former Trump aide Sarah Matthews warned Donald Trump against going after Hunter Biden during Thursday night’s first presidential debate, saying the move could easily “backfire” and actually make Biden look better, The Hill reports.
“She pointed back to the 2020 election debates, where Trump’s attack on Hunter Biden’s drug addiction led to a softer moment for Biden showing care as a father, something which voters connected with.”
Said Matthews: “It was a moment with the American people where they saw how good of a dad he is, and it actually curried more favor for him with sympathy. A lot of families out there can relate to that struggle. And so if they decide to go down that route, and Trump decides to kind of go after Hunter Biden as a counter-attack, I could see that actually backfiring on him.”
