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

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The photo shows Biden giving his 19-year-old granddaughter, Finnegan, a kiss during a campaign stop in Iowa in February.

False Claims Regarding Joe Biden Kissing a 15-Year-Old Girl Debunked

A recent social media post portrayed a photo of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden kissing his adult granddaughter, Finnegan, on the lips during a campaign rally in Iowa as kissing a 15-year-old girl. According to the Associated Press, the claims are false.

The 1,400-shared Facebook post erroneously claims the image shows Biden abusing a youngster and concerns his eligibility as a Christian candidate.

Facts tell a different story. Biden said at the campaign event that young girls may feel embarrassed by their fathers, but grandfathers rarely do. He stressed that grandchildren love and like their grandfathers.

Video of the event adds context. Biden kissed his adult granddaughter on the lips after his statement and said, “I want you to meet Finnegan.”

Yes — the core facts check out. • **Amount & purpose:** Minnesota did pay roughly **\$430 000** in public money to the Washington-based law firm **K\&L Gates** to coach Gov. Tim Walz for a June 12, 2025 U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing on “sanctuary-city” policy. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Timeframe & hourly rate:** Invoices the Star Tribune obtained cover work from **April 10 to June 12**; May charges alone came to about **\$232 000, averaging \$516 per hour**. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Funding source:** The governor’s office tapped Minnesota’s **general fund** after getting approval from the Legislative Advisory Commission. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Political reaction:** GOP legislators Jim Nash and Harry Niska called the spending excessive, while Walz’s staff blamed House Republicans for staging a “political stunt.” ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Comparable cases elsewhere:** Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (up to \$650 000), Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (≈ \$250 000) and others have used outside counsel for similar congressional-hearing prep.
