President Joe Biden on Friday for the first time publicly acknowledged his seventh grandchild, a 4-year-old girl fathered by his son Hunter with an Arkansas woman, Lunden Roberts, in 2018.
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.
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.

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.
