As former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris enter the final stretch in the last week before Election Day, both candidates have been asked tricky questions.
According to reports, one of those questions was with regard to whether or not either candidate would consider a pardon for President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Unlike Harris, who has worked overtime to dodge anything resembling a difficult political question, Trump's reply to the possibility of pardoning Hunter Biden was not surprising, but a little shocking for many.
But at least he was honest about it. Harris simply dodged the question by saying she didn't want to get into hypothetical situations.
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt posed the question to Trump regarding the possibility of offering Hunter Biden a pardon.
“I wouldn’t take it off the books. See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they’ve done to me, where they’ve gone after me so viciously, despite what – and Hunter’s a bad boy. There’s no question about it. He’s been a bad boy," Trump said.
NBC's Hallie Jackson posed the same question to Harris, even pressing her on the issue as Harris tried to squirm out of it. Her reply was not surprising, whatsoever.
“I’m not going to get into those hypotheticals. I’m focused on the next 14 days," Harris said.
Hunter Biden's father, the sitting president, had vowed that he would not pardon his own son, though many believe that could change because he said that while he was a Democratic presidential candidate up for reelection, as opposed to his status now as a lame duck.
Reports noted:
In June, Hunter Biden was convicted of three federal felonies related to lying about his drug use while purchasing a firearm. He now faces up to 25 years in prison, though he is expected to receive a lighter sentence due to his lack of prior convictions.
Users across social media reacted to the news that Trump is at least leaving open the possibility of pardoning Hunter Biden.
"No...let Hunter be the start of something great! Lock them all up for the crimes they have been committing for the last 25 years," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "I believe Hunter will be pardoned by his father before Trump gets sworn in."
Only time will tell if Trump ever makes that call, which some believe could be the ultimate power move.
