Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is suggesting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is more focused on the issues ahead of the November election than attacking his opponent’s children.
Before heading to an event in Charlotte, Harris explained to reporters the differences between Biden’s campaign and President Donald Trump’s.
“Listen, Joe Biden knows that what America needs to hear is, they need to hear a conversation about how we’re going to put food on America’s tables when people are standing in food lines,” Harris said.
She added, “He knows that people want to hear about how we’re going to help working people get through the end of the month and pay the rent. That’s what people care about, and one of the things I love about Joe Biden — he doesn’t take on or talk about other people’s kids.”

Her comments come just one day after Trump called on Attorney General William Barr to investigate Hunter Biden following a New York Post report alleging the former vice president met with an executive for Ukrainian energy company Burisma while still in office, as IJR previously reported.
“We have got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act and he’s got to act fast,” Trump said during Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends” phone call interview.
The president added, “This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election.”
Biden doubled down on his denial of the reports during an interview with a local Wisconsin television station, as IJR previously reported.
He was asked about a statement issued by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) accusing Hunter Biden and other Biden family members of “profit[ing] off the Biden name.”
“This is the same garbage Rudy Giuliani — Trump’s henchman. It’s a last-ditch effort in his desperate campaign to smear me and my family,” Biden said.
He went on, “Even the man who serves with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party said there’s no basis to this. And the vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there’s no basis at all. Ron should be ashamed of himself.”
