President Joe Biden’s family is actively becoming more involved in his campaign and White House affairs amid visible frustration with his staff, which has spilled into the public eye following his disappointing debate performance.

Insiders familiar with the family dynamics suggest that the debate debacle has presented an opportunity for Biden's family members to assume a more proactive role in supporting their father and brother, whom they deeply care about.

The rift between President Biden's family and some of his closest aides has been simmering for some time, exacerbated by the recent debate performance, as confirmed by 13 sources familiar with the situation speaking to NBC News. From the perspective of Biden's aides, the family seems to be seizing this moment to address longstanding grievances. Conversely, family members believe that their father's lackluster showing is the result of misguided advice from aides who they feel have not effectively showcased his political strengths.

This internal strife has understandably irked certain Biden staffers, who view the blame game as an impediment to the unified effort required to support the president during this challenging time.

"It’s counterproductive," commented one Biden campaign aide. Some of Biden's allies feel that while the president's aides are primarily managing and coordinating the post-debate strategy, the family's approach is more emotionally driven.

Describing the situation as "Shakespearean," one individual close to the president highlighted the dramatic tension within Biden's inner circle.

Following the debate, President Biden publicly took responsibility for his performance, stating unequivocally in an interview with ABC News that the outcome was "nobody’s fault but mine."

The increased involvement of Hunter Biden in White House meetings this week serves as a clear indicator of deeper family engagement anticipated in the coming days. Additionally, Biden's sister, Valerie Owens, recently traveled to Washington to join other family members at the White House, where they planned face-to-face meetings to discuss the president's campaign.

Despite discussions among Biden family members about potentially removing senior White House adviser Anita Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer, who serves as Biden’s personal lawyer, sources close to the family indicate there is currently no active effort to overhaul staffing. Instead, those close to the president emphasize a measured, focused, thoughtful, and deliberate approach.

In response to speculations, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients issued a statement affirming the president and first lady's full confidence in their team, including Anita and Bob, dismissing rumors as unfounded and insulting.

Sources familiar with the family's sentiments post-debate suggest that some of the president's top aides in both the White House and the campaign have scapegoated Biden rather than taking responsibility for the underwhelming performance. This perceived betrayal has reportedly deeply frustrated the Biden family.

The ongoing concern among Biden's inner circle now centers on the risk of internal disagreements spilling into the public domain, especially as pressure mounts on the president. Family discussions have largely revolved around strategies to continue supporting Biden moving forward, according to sources close to the matter.

Tensions escalated to the point where President Biden personally contacted Ron Klain, his former chief of staff and longtime adviser, to clarify that recent reports of family discontent did not reflect his or their collective sentiments.

Among Biden’s closest advisers, there’s a consensus that the president excels when he speaks off-the-cuff and unscripted. However, ongoing finger-pointing among advisers about who shields Biden from scrutiny or limits his exposure to potentially challenging settings persists.

Supporters aligned with the family have criticized "the firm," referring to Biden's inner circle, for overly managing the president. Conversely, advisers have delicately suggested that the protective instincts of both blood relatives and longstanding staff might sometimes shield Biden too much.

The recent increase in Hunter Biden's involvement has reportedly puzzled some White House staff members and reopened old wounds within the family, particularly concerning the roles of Bauer and Dunn in advising on Hunter Biden's public profile.

Michael LaRosa, former White House communications chief to the first lady, defended Hunter Biden’s political engagement, citing his legal acumen and media strategy prowess, which he believes surpasses that of the current campaign despite significant financial resources.

Reflecting on Biden's close relationship with his family, LaRosa emphasized their unfiltered advice and speculated that frustrations might stem from feeling excluded from critical decision-making processes.

In response to inquiries about Hunter Biden’s recent presence in White House meetings, White House spokesman Andrew Bates clarified that Hunter accompanied the president from their family retreat at Camp David and was directly involved in speech preparation regarding the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.

Hunter Biden recently faced legal challenges, including a federal trial in Delaware where he was found guilty on gun-related charges and remains under indictment for tax-related felonies. His past business dealings and perceptions of leveraging his father’s political influence have drawn criticism, notably from former President Donald Trump.

Despite these challenges, Dunn and Bauer have reportedly maintained a candid approach in advising the president and first lady, differing from other aides who might shy away from delivering tough truths.

“Anita is one of the most respected individuals in both the White House and the campaign, and across the Democratic Party,” affirmed a Biden aide, underscoring Dunn’s integral role in navigating the president's political journey.

President Biden reaffirmed his resolve in a TV interview, citing past electoral victories and dismissing calls for him to step aside, affirming that only divine intervention could prompt such a decision.
