Hunter Biden: ‘I may have to’ run for president in 2028

Biden tied a possible bid to addiction advocacy and said 50 million Americans still struggle with substance abuse, the New York Post reported.

  • During a radio interview with John Catsimatidis on Sunday, Hunter Biden said he "may have to" run for president, an appearance that reignited 2028 speculation despite stopping short of an official campaign announcement.
  • Contrasting with his recent remarks, Hunter Biden previously joked on 'Real Time with Bill Maher' that any campaign announcement would indicate he had relapsed, reflecting his documented struggles with addiction.
  • Biden identified his primary qualifications as a commitment "to adhering to the rule of law" and emphasized helping the "50 million Americans" struggling with addiction.
  • Critics cite the 56-year-old's past legal troubles as disqualifying for higher office; he received a full pardon from President Joe Biden in December 2024 covering federal gun and tax charges.
  • Biden praised the Democratic Party's "incredible bench" of candidates for 2028, naming Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Illinois Gov. Pritzker, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as potential contenders in an unsettled field.
