    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.

      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…

      https://gazette.com/news/wex/desantis-takes-shot-at-biden-for-ignoring-seventh-grandchild-acknowledge-she-exists/article_8365d687-74a8-52d4-bf68-3a4f3eec7e64.html

      And here’s this one:

      https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/politics/hunter-biden-daughter-arkansas.html

      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.”
