His Father's Seat

Joyner doesn't approve of Beau Biden taking Joe Biden's seat, an idea that was floated by Beltway types:

Appointing family members to succeed politicians who suddenly die in office is a longstanding tradition, as is capitalizing on the family name to get a leg up in running for office.  The latter is at least a byproduct of popular will; the former is beyond unseemly.

This ugly act of nepotism has now been scotched mercifully. What does it say about both Bidens that they even considered it? Ugh.
