Hunter Biden hints at 2028 run, says he'd be VP for Gavin Newsom

During California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast, the former first son was introduced as a “Presidential candidate.” In the interview, Hunter Biden said he would run for president in 2028 only if Newsom agreed to be his vice‑presidential running mate, adding that the vice‑president’s residence “is a lot cooler” than the White House.

The exchange has sparked renewed speculation about both men’s political ambitions. The comments also referenced Hunter Biden’s past legal troubles, noting that he was pardoned by his father in December 2024 for firearms, drug‑possession and tax charges.
