WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) – Americans might see a first-of-its-kind combat as they put together to have fun the nation’s 250th independence: a cage match between the sons of a sitting U.S. president, and the son of a former president. The inconceivable chance arose on Thursday when Hunter Biden, son of former Democratic President Joe Biden, challenged Republican President Donald Trump’s eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, to a combat.
Biden mentioned he received a name from social media commentator Andrew Callaghan, who advised him that he was organizing the match.
“I told him I’d do it — 100% in if he can pull it off. And if he can’t, I’m still coming,” he mentioned in a video shared on Callaghan’s Channel 5 Instagram.
The Trump Organization and White House didn’t instantly reply to requests for feedback. It is unclear if or when this match would occur. The White House plans to host the same occasion — however with precise UFC fighters — on June 14 as a part of a collection of occasions celebrating the semiquincentennial of the United States. Biden turned president after defeating Trump within the 2020 election, which the Republican continues to falsely declare was the results of widespread fraud.
The threatened match between their sons has echoes of a proposed 2023 cage match between tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, although that occasion by no means occurred.
Earlier eras of American politics noticed bloody political faceoffs, notably the 1804 duel between Vice President Aaron Burr and former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, which resulted within the former treasury secretary’s demise and successfully ended Burr’s political profession.
