Hunter Biden says Kamala Harris is getting 'bad political advice,' refuses to explain loyalty criticism

Former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, said on Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris was getting bad political advice, after he refused to explain why he thinks she wasn't a good politician.

Zeteo founder and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan pressed Biden on why he said that Harris was "not a very good politician," despite her repeatedly refusing to break from Joe Biden on key issues while campaigning in 2024.

"Here's what I'd also like to say about the vice president.

I think that the vice president served the country incredibly well and that she has a deep, rich future in politics.

Whether she wants to run for president again, she'll be one of the, if not, the frontrunner," he said.

Hasan pressed, "But she's not a very good politician?" "No, and I think that the way that she's going about it right now is, at least from my perspective—" Biden began, as Hasan pressed him to elaborate.

HUNTER BIDEN REVEALS HE NEVER WANTED JOE BIDEN TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION, BUT REFUSED TO TELL HIM TO STOP Biden said, "I think that this administration, unlike you, I don't think that she should have ever been any daylight between, she can make daylight between herself and my dad, but not in terms of what they were able to accomplish over that four-year period.

I think that there might be daylight as issues related to Gaza and as it relates to Israel that of course, she needs to be able to stake her own ground on that." The Zeteo founder noted that Harris didn't really break from Biden on Gaza or Israel .

Biden insisted Harris' refusal to break with his father on the issue didn't have anything to do with his father.

"He didn't pressure her? No daylight, kid?" Hasan asked.

A post-2024 election book by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes said Joe Biden had told Harris repeatedly that there could be "no daylight" between them and reported that he told her, "No daylight, kid," during a call ahead of her debate with Donald Trump .

But here's the thing, is this, is that, you know what? She's a free agent now.

I'm Hunter Biden," he said.
