It's been three years since I announced @KamalaHarris as my running mate. Since we've been in office, she has led on the fight for reproductive rights, voting rights, gun safety reform nationwide, and so much more.

President Biden loves his son, Hunter, dearly.
You could hear it clearly in the message he left for his son while he was in the terrible grips of addiction. “It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don’t know what to do. I don’t either.”
As a Dad, I know he had to be hurting, powerless to help his son climb out of that dark hole.
As a Dad, I know if has to be painful for him to bear with the millions of people clamoring to maliciously smear his son, who is still on the road to recovery from addiction.
As a Dad, I know that it had to be difficult to step aside and allow the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate his son.
Because you know what? If it were one of MY sons, I don't know that I'd have the intestinal fortitude to do that. ME PERSONALLY. But then again, I'm not the President, nor do I have any desire to be.
But that had to be hard as hell, knowing that it will give the right wing yet another talking point about his son, regardless of how empty and desperate the GOP's smear tactics may seem. You want to protect your kids from that, if it's in your power.
I know Donald Trump wouldn't do that... shit, Ivanka had those 18 Chinese trademarks approved because of her Dad. Did he approve an investigation into that? Hell no.
What about his son-in-law, Jared Kushner? Jared wasn't qualified for a job in the White House, couldn't even correctly complete a security clearance form, and yet Trump put him in there so he could soak up all of those million and billion dollar deals. Investigate him? Hell no.
Come to think of it, the ONLY person Trump approved an investigation into was... HUNTER BIDEN. And what did President Biden do when he took office? Did he defund the investigation? Did he try to derail it?
No. He allowed it to run its course.
So I'm a little pissed that Hunter Biden is being investigated. Talk about weaponization of government? It's been weaponized against him, to hurt his Dad.
But I am confident that, when the investigation is done, if Hunter is guilty, he will pay the consequences.
But it will NOT change my decision to vote to re-elect President Biden, who is a good Dad, a kind human being, and one of the best Presidents we have had in a long time.
