It was indeed “Sleeping Joe!” – The former first son of the US, Hunter Beden claimed that his father’s devastating debate, Joe Biden Donald Trump was partly due to the fact that the 46th president was taking Ambien – a drug used mainly for short -term treatment of sleep problems.
“I know exactly what happened to that debate,” said 55 -year -old Hunter Biden in an interview with YouTuber, Andrew Callaghan, who was aired today (21.07.2025) on the anniversary of the withdrawal of his father’s nomination, Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential elections.
“He flew around the world. He is 81 years old. He’s tired. They give him ambien to be able to sleep and when he goes on stage he looks like a deer that is frozen from the lights of a car, “said Biden.
According to international media, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, after examining Bubiden on February 28, 2024, did not mention this drug taken by the former US president – six drugs were reported, but not the popular hypnotic.
Hunter did not specify how long his father was taking Ambien during the period before the debate, where Biden’s clumsy appearance against Trump caused a rebellion within the Democratic Party, which culminated in his retirement from the race.
“The people who fought against him were insignificant, except for … Honorary Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who did not support him strongly,” he said.
After the debate, Hunter Biden claimed that his father had to prove to party leaders that he was capable of defending the ideals of democrats against Trump.
“It goes beyond the obstacle, goes and interviews ABC News George Stephanopoulos. Everyone says, “Okay, this is not enough, we have to see him give him a press conference,” Hunter complained, referring to a press conference by Bayiden on July 12, during which he called Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski.
Five days later, the White House announced that the president had found himself positive on Covid -9, making another blow to his attempt to restore his campaign.
“He woke up in the morning and had a serious covid form, and his photos boarding and landing from the plane were simply shocking, and then the hens fell,” Hunter recalls.
“What I felt happened was that he was given a choice … He was told:” We will destroy the party if you do not retire. We will complain about it all the next month, until the conference, “he noted.
“Joe Biden, I think, did the most selfless thing I know for any politician in the history of this core of the country. He retired to save the party. “
