Hunter Biden to run for president in 2028? Joe Biden’s son drops major hint, ‘If I get your endorsement…’

Hunter Biden has hinted at the possibility of running for president in 2028, contingent upon securing an endorsement from radio host John Catsimatidis. The 56-year-old son of former President Joe Biden made the comments during an interview on Catsimatidis' WABC show Cats Roundtable. While Hunter Biden did not announce a formal campaign, his remarks have sparked speculation about the Biden family's potential return to the presidential ballot in 2028.

During the interview, Catsimatidis inquired about a possible Biden presidential bid, to which Hunter Biden responded conditionally, saying, "If I get your endorsement, I may have to [run for president]." He also highlighted addiction policy as a key issue, expressing concern about the millions of Americans battling addiction. Hunter Biden further emphasized his adherence to the US Constitution and the rule of law as qualifications for the presidency.

This statement marks a notable shift from Biden's previous public comments, where he seemed to rule out a 2028 presidential run. In August, during an appearance on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Biden had said he had not considered a presidential campaign, joking that a future announcement would require a relapse check. The renewed speculation around Hunter Biden's potential candidacy comes as several prominent Democrats are already entering the 2028 race.
