Hunter Biden says dad Joe was on Ambien during disastrous 2024 debate with Trump



WASHINGTON — He really was Sleepy Joe!

Former first son Hunter Biden claimed in a new interview Monday that his father’s disastrous performance in last year’s debate with Donald Trump was due in part to the 46th president taking Ambien — which there is no record of him being prescribed.

“I know exactly what happened in that debate,” Hunter, 55, told YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan in an interview released on the anniversary of Biden prematurely ending his re-election bid.

“He flew around the world. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep and he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights.”

A note released by Dr. Kevin O’Connor following Biden’s physical exam that February makes note of six medications the commander-in-chief was taking — but the popular sleeping aid is not one of them.

The former first son also downplayed the extent of the Democratic revolt against his father that led to Joe Biden giving up the Democratic nomination.

“The people who came out against him were nobody, except … Speaker Emeritus [Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.] did not give a full-throated endorsement,” he said.

“The entirety of the progressive side of the Democratic Party said Joe Biden has got more of our agenda accomplished in four years than any president in history.”
