WASHINGTON - Republican President Donald Trump appears to have narrowed in on his preferred foe for the 2020 election: Hunter Biden, the son of leading Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden.
The lawyer and lobbyist has now seen his profile skyrocket as the frequent target of Trump, who is seeking to depict him as the embodiment of corruption in an effort to sully his father’s presidential campaign. Trump points to Hunter Biden’s role after he left lobbying, when he started a consulting shop meant to help foreign companies, and his work in China and Ukraine while his father was vice president under Democratic President Barack Obama.
The president’s call on Thursday for China to investigate came only moments after discussing how he could exert pressure on that nation to approve a trade deal.Joe Biden not only leads most opinion polls among the 19 Democrats seeking their party’s presidential nomination but also bests Trump in several polls measuring a hypothetical matchup in November 2020.
