President Joe Biden is set to embark on a three-day trip to Italy for the G7 summit, just a day after his son was convicted on felony gun charges. This timing highlights the delicate balance Biden has had to maintain amidst his son's legal troubles.
During the trial last week, Biden was in France commemorating D-Day, but he stayed connected to the proceedings and kept in touch with his son and first lady Jill Biden, who attended the trial for a day in Delaware.
Before and after his trip to France, Biden spent significant time with his son in Delaware, even returning directly to their family home in Wilmington. While there were no prior plans for Biden to visit his son in Delaware before departing for Italy, the guilty verdict may prompt a change in his schedule.
Despite the challenges posed by his son's legal situation, Biden has been actively involved and supportive, demonstrating his commitment to his family amidst his presidential duties.
