To clarify, this is Biden stating his opposition to a UK Government bill that, in the event the EU effectively refuses to license the mainland UK to trade with Northern Ireland, tells the EU to get bent. It is something of a controversial bill, addressing a problem that arose by assuming good faith on the part of the EU, not something they've shown a great deal of, in my opinion, in the course of negotiations.
Like the EU, Biden seems to see the way forward for Northern Ireland as being broken away from the UK, presumably for later integration into the Republic of Ireland - whether the citizens of Northern Ireland want it or not.
Is the man just trying to pander to Irish American votes at this point?
The citizens of Ireland don't even want irish unification because they don't want a sizable protestant minority causing issues.
The only people that want Irish unification are the plastic paddies in the US. And they support the IRA. So I have no idea who this is supposed to be pandering to.

Might just be Biden scrabbling around for every single vote he can get.
