CNN This Morning criticized Republicans for spending too much time discussing Hunter Biden’s laptop this Wednesday. Political commentator Errol Louis claimed Americans did not care about President Biden’s son and his alleged crimes and said Republicans did not know how to talk to the country.

When asked about how Hunter Biden’s plea deal affected the 2024 election, Louis claimed it proved Republicans could not connect with voters. “I mean, look, it brings up the big elephant in the room, which is that Republicans are closing in on 20 years in which they could not win the popular vote in this country,” Louis began, quickly shifting the conversation to Republican shortcomings.

He elaborated on what issues he considered more worthy of discussion:

What people actually care about -- every poll that we've looked at tells you what common sense would tell you. People care about prices. They care about their kid's tuition. They care about their family, and their future, and the economy. And the Hunter Biden fixation that led to the first impeachment of Donald Trump that seems to be the only issue that any Republican candidate wants to talk about right now.
