Biden nearly invisible in own Christmas family photo as Hunter takes center stage

Joe Biden's Christmas photo on his official X account shows him mostly obscured while his son Hunter is center stage, drawing widespread online commentary and mockery.

  • Former President Joe Biden shared on X Wednesday a Christmas Eve message wishing `a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love` alongside a family photo showing him partially blocked by Former First Lady Jill Biden.
  • Biden, 83, has largely kept a low profile since January and spoke at an LGBTQ+ event earlier this month urging resistance to Donald Trump, Biden's successor.
  • Observers on X, including some Donald Trump supporters, pointed out the photo's odd framing, with a user commenting, `Why are you in the back, blocked by jill,`.
  • May's health disclosure framed how some interpreted the photo choice, as his office announced former President Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, while some questioned why Biden's team couldn't release a clearer image.
  • Critics contrasted the warm message with the successor's rhetoric, saying the shot could be improved and noting the post's warm tone increased partisan interest.
