Hunter Biden Says He May Run for President in 2028

Hunter Biden said he may consider running for president in 2028 after a brief interview with radio host John Catsimatidis. In the conversation, the former president’s son replied that he would “have to” weigh a campaign if he received the host’s endorsement. The comment was reported by The Hill on Thursday, sparking immediate speculation about a potential Democratic contender.

The remark comes at a time when the 2024 presidential race is shaping up to be a crowded field. President Joe Biden has hinted at a 2024 reelection bid, but no formal announcement has been made. At the same time, several high‑profile Democrats—Senators Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete De Santis—have floated 2028 ambitions. Hunter Biden’s name has been a footnote in political gossip for years, largely because of his business dealings and personal controversies. His father’s presidency has kept the family in the public eye, and the idea of a second‑generation political player has long intrigued observers.

Political analysts say a Hunter Biden campaign would be a double‑edged sword. On one hand, his name recognition could attract voters who are tired of the current political establishment. On the other, his past legal troubles and the ongoing investigations into his business deals could alienate moderate Democrats. Party insiders have warned that a 2028 run could split the base and create a “third‑party” dynamic that might benefit the Republican nominee. If Hunter files for a campaign, he would need to establish a committee, raise millions of dollars, and navigate the complex landscape of Democratic primaries.

The next steps are unclear. Hunter has not filed any paperwork with the Federal Election Commission, and no official campaign announcement has been made. If he does decide to run, he would likely begin by securing endorsements from key state leaders and building a grassroots organization. The move would also force the Democratic Party to decide whether to support a candidate with a controversial background or to rally behind a more conventional figure. For now, the conversation with Catsimatidis remains a headline‑grabber, but it may set the stage for a broader debate about the future of the party and the kinds of leaders it will field in the next decade.
