I'm sure he doesn't want to draw further attention to poor Hunter, who is persecuted for no reason by Republicans, and perhaps cause his granddaughter to be harmed.
But for her sake, at least he's acknowledging her. Imagine growing up and being called the one that grandpa wouldn't mention. This removes that from her, which I think is important, and I hope he at least recognized.
Also true, you are correct. I just fear for that child because the Republicans are so weirdly obsessed with Hunter.
She probably will be hounded by the media, but at least she won't have to deal with this too.
There is no world where any of this is in Navy's best interest. Republicans are harping on it because they think it will hurt Biden, Biden is "publicly acknowledging for the first time" to prevent it from being a drain on that same campaign.
We don't know any of the interpersonal relationships at work here and certainly what is "publicly acknowledged" now vs in December 2024 is not going to cause psychological harm to a 4 year old.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I will never vote for Hunter Biden!
Did we time travel? Are we now in Victorian England where an out-of-wedlock grandchild is some kind of scandal?? LOL
This is not at all political. Try harder.
Who, and I cannot stress this enough, cares?
I have no fantasys about Biden. He's old money, and more conservative than I would like. This "news" is in line with my perception of him. Idc.
How does this impact politics exactly?
As long as he didn't mention her, the media kept at him for not mentioning her. You don't think this would be a GOP talking point to besmirch his character during the next election?
Oh, yeah, Desantis already did...

Quote from NY Times: "The story surrounding the president’s grandchild in Arkansas, who has not yet met her father or her grandfather, is about money, corrosive politics and what it means to have the Biden birthright."
