For the tail end of the Obama presidency, a minor thorn in his side was his half-brother, Malik Obama. During the 2016 campaign, Malik openly backed Donald Trump and expressed “deep disappointment” in how his brother had governed.
“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama said at the time. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him … Mr. Trump is providing something new and something fresh.”
At that time, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was ensconced in the Obama White House as the nation’s vice president.
I’m sure Malik Obama was a minor-league problem in those days, but he was doubtless a problem — a problem Biden could have learned a lesson from when Hillary Clinton lost and Biden instantly became a 2020 frontrunner. If he had any malcontent or too-chatty relatives, maybe then was the time to mollify them. Reach out to them. Maybe send them on a cruise. Then tell them to please, please keep quiet until November of 2020 and — should he be lucky enough — for the eight years beyond that.
But it turns out the former vice president has a younger brother who could complicate any prospective Biden campaign to win the White House in his own right.
At least Frank Biden isn’t trashing his brother, or at least not yet. However, in what can only be described as another example of familial non-mollification, the younger brother of the former vice president revealed that some of his family members voted for Donald Trump in 2016 because they “felt slighted” by the Clintons.

To be fair, Frank Biden made the revelation to bolster the claim that his brother would have been a better candidate against Trump in 2016, so perhaps it’s a mere indication that the elder Biden’s habit of verbal solecisms is a genetic one.
“We never would have lost Pennsylvania, and all my relatives — the Finnegan family — who voted for Donald Trump because they felt slighted by Hillary and her campaign,” Biden said in an interview with the Palm Beach Post published last week.
“We never would have not gone to Michigan as the campaign decided not to do because they felt entitled to the votes of those people.
“Assumptive politics is losing politics,” he added. “You have to work for every single vote and people have to know individually, collectively and severally that you care about them, that they’re important.”
