Hunter Biden Says He Might Run for President in 2028 If Backed by Catsimatidis
Hunter Biden told billionaire John Catsimatidis on a WABC radio program that he could consider a 2028 presidential bid if he receives the mogul’s endorsement.
In a Sunday broadcast of the Cats Roundtable on WABC, Hunter Biden indicated that a presidential run in 2028 might become a possibility if he secures the endorsement of host John Catsimatidis. He framed his potential candidacy around addressing the addiction crisis affecting tens of millions of Americans and emphasized his adherence to constitutional principles as his chief qualification. Biden, who has been convicted of federal gun and tax offenses, also mentioned his 2014 discharge from the Navy following a positive cocaine test.
While he did not pledge to enter the race, he praised the depth of Democratic talent and expressed personal fondness for Governor Gavin Newsom. The interview also touched on his personal life, including a recent disclosure of his sexual orientation on a separate podcast. No formal campaign plans were announced.
Why it matters
Biden's hint at a presidential run could reshape the 2028 election dynamics and draw media focus to addiction policy.
