WASHINGTON — Joe Biden and his son Hunter talk every day, typically a fast check-in initiated by the Democratic presidential nominee, often from the back of a car between campaign stops. Although Biden tries to touch base with his two grown children and five grandchildren once a day, doling out “I love yous,” Hunter Biden is a special case.

“My only surviving son,” is how the former vice president refers to his “Hunt,” whose battles with addiction have made for a long-running high-wire act within the Biden universe.

The stresses of Biden’s presidential campaign have made an already complicated father-son relationship even more so. From the outset of the race, President Donald Trump and his allies have made Hunter Biden’s business dealings a centerpiece of their efforts to portray his father as an unscrupulous swamp presence.
