Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, dropped a surprising hint about his political future during a recent radio interview. The former first son revealed under what conditions he would consider a 2028 presidential run.
Hunter Biden floated a 2028 campaign after previously brushing off the idea
Hunter Biden revealed he “may have to” run for president in 2028 during an interview with billionaire John Catsimatidis on his WABC Cats Roundtable radio show, the New York Post reported. The 56-year-old made the comment after Catsimatidis offered a potential endorsement. Biden tied his interest in running to advocacy for Americans struggling with addiction.
“If I get your endorsement, I may have to. The things I care most about is [are] the 50 million Americans that are still suffering with their addictions,” Biden said during the interview airing Sunday. He also outlined what he considers his top qualification for the presidency. Biden emphasized his commitment to constitutional principles and governance.
“Here is my qualification for becoming president: if you believe in the Constitution of the United States of America that you swear to uphold and protect. I want the next president to commit to one thing: to adhering to the rule of law,” he said. Biden was previously convicted on federal gun and tax charges. He was also discharged from the Navy in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine.
Biden’s earlier connection to a presidential campaign involved the “Laptop from Hell” revelations published in the New York Post. The laptop contained evidence that he allegedly leveraged his father’s position as vice president to benefit his family. It also included explicit personal photos and was used as evidence in his federal trials.
Despite floating the idea, Biden did not fully commit to a 2028 run. He praised the Democratic Party’s existing roster of potential candidates. “I love Gavin Newsom, personally,” he said, suggesting the party already has strong contenders for the next presidential cycle.
