Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden held drive-in rallies in Bristol, north of Philadelphia, accompanied by his wife Dr. Jill Biden on Saturday.
The rallies were held amid reports suggesting Biden’s son, Hunter, has in the past leveraged his father’s powerful position as vice president to strike deals with companies in China and Ukraine.
Biden denies the claims, saying it’s “crass” to go after his son Hunter.

Jordan told Fox News over the weekend that it’s “not Russian disinformation.” He said that the “emails are real.”
