Photo Shows Biden Kissing His Granddaughter, Not A 15-Year-Old

A recent social media post has caused confusion by sharing a photo of Joe Biden kissing his granddaughter, Finnegan, during a campaign stop in Iowa. Some people mistakenly claimed that Biden was kissing a 15-year-old girl, but this is not true.

The Associated Press looked into the matter and confirmed that the person in the photo is Biden’s 19-year-old granddaughter, Finnegan. This information clears up any misunderstanding about the image.

Despite the truth being known, the false claim has spread quickly. A Facebook post making this incorrect assertion has been shared more than 1,400 times. The post incorrectly suggests that Biden’s behavior was inappropriate.

This incident shows how important it is to check facts before sharing information online. False claims can shape how people view someone and can cause unnecessary harm. Fact-checking organizations like the Associated Press help correct these kinds of mistakes and stop misinformation from spreading.
