This old tweet from presidential candidate Joe Biden surely was meant to show off his "grandfatherly appeal." He was building a brand as a family-first kind of guy, the kind of guy you wish your own grandfather would have been. Here, Biden tells of a rule he's had his entire life … until recently.
I’ve had a rule my entire life: No matter what’s happening, no matter how important the meeting, I’ll always answer a call from my grandchildren. pic.twitter.com/mmsB1GOxAu

He'll never speak to her, let alone see her in person. He'll die denying she exists.

joe biden chose to use his grandkids as a political prop. he wasn't forced into it. he should answer questions about, for instance, how many of them he has. https://t.co/pH4r9pR8QJ

Reminder that we already knew about the grandchild he disowned when these ads came out. Republican oppo is, as always, non-existent. https://t.co/kIyrsEaTRE

I can’t believe people bought this “kindly Grampa” routine https://t.co/4cGMPq579w
That routine is shot for the 2024 election. It's too bad he's being shielded from debates so candidates can't ask him how many grandchildren he has.
