In this week’s politics podcast, Guinevieve Tran and Jackson Hardy discuss the phenomenon of problematic presidential children. It’s no secret that the offspring of world leaders are going to be under the spotlight as much as their parents. However with this type of spotlight, it comes with great scrutiny as well. Dating back to some of past presidents up until now, these kids often find themselves thrusted into the spotlight and their actions add to the long line of “controversial first kids.”

We will be exploring some of the most controversial presidential children of all time and how they’ve made their impact throughout their parent’s time in office. From scandalous activities and questionable business dealings to unexpected choices, their lives have been anything but ordinary. Because once someone becomes president, everyone is affected.
