Hunter Biden has confirmed what many conservatives have long suspected about identity politics in the Democratic Party, admitting that his father only chose Kamala Harris as his vice president because she is black.
According to Hunter, his father, Joe Biden, selected Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate in 2020 out of “loyalty” to African American women, whom he described as the “most powerful force within the Democratic Party.”
This admission comes amid Hunter’s criticism of Harris’ new memoir, 107 Days, which chronicles her brief 2024 presidential campaign.
The book includes pointed criticisms of Biden, such as calling his re-election bid “recklessness” and recounting a tense pre-debate call where Biden allegedly made it “all about himself.”
The comments about Joe Biden’s decision to pick her were made during a three-hour interview on Hunter Biden’s Substack platform with journalist Tommy Christopher.
Hunter admitted he hadn’t fully read the book but found Harris’ attempts to separate herself from his father “personally painful” and accused her of taking the “easy path” for political expediency.
“I love what she represented, and I love the fact that my dad made the decision,” Hunter Biden said, according to a report from the New York Post.
“Let me tell you about loyalty,” Hunter continued. “The reason that he picked Kamala Harris is because of the fact that he believes, and I certainly believe, the most powerful force within the Democratic Party is and always has been the African American women.”
The Post report adds:
In early 2020, just after his once-struggling campaign began making a comeback, Joe had committed to making history by tapping a woman as his vice president. He only limited his selection process by gender, not by race.
Hunter called African American women the “heart and soul and the conscience of the Democratic party.”
“He chose her out of loyalty,” Hunter said. “I guess I don’t understand why someone would choose the expedient path as it relates to that relationship, their own political expediency.”
