Hunter Biden Breaks Silence on Shocking 2028 Presidential Plan
Hunter Biden told billionaire John Catsimatidis he may have to run for president if he gets the endorsement. This statement comes after the candidate previously told a TV host he had no plans to seek the office. The shift in his public stance happened during a recent interview with the New York businessman. Catsimatidis is a grocery chain owner and a known ally of President Donald Trump.
Biden made this specific claim while discussing his potential future in politics. This condition links a potential campaign to the support of a conservative figure. The interview was reported by RedState and the Washington Examiner.
The 56-year-old also noted his personal struggles with addiction during the conversation. He declared that the 50 million Americans still suffering with their addictions are the things he cares most about. This comment highlights his focus on recovery issues rather than policy debates. He recently celebrated seven years of being sober from crack and other substances.
Just weeks before this interview, Biden told Bill Maher he had not considered a run. In that August 21 interview, he said he had not thought of running. A joke regarding his sobriety followed, where he remarked that if he announces for president, someone should verify whether he relapsed. These two interviews show a clear difference in his messaging.
Biden described his main qualification for the presidency as a commitment to the Constitution. Speaking to the Washington Examiner, he asserted that his qualification for becoming president is belief in the Constitution of the United States of America, which one swears to uphold and protect. The next president must pledge to adhere to the rule of law as a singular commitment. This statement comes after he received a full pardon from his father.
In December 2024, his father, the current president, issued him a full and unconditional pardon. Before sentencing could occur, federal convictions for gun and tax charges were erased by this legal action. All federal offenses allegedly committed between 2014 and 2024 were included within the scope of the pardon. Biden was once the prime subject of the laptop scandal that broke before the 2020 election.
During the Catsimatidis interview, he praised the depth of the Democratic field. He name-dropped Gov. Andy Beshear and Gov. JB Pritzker before expressing support for Gov. Gavin Newsom. He identifies as a self-described former crackhead in these recent discussions.
No official campaign has launched as of this reporting. The comments remain conditional on an endorsement from a private citizen. The next step depends on whether Catsimatidis offers that support. If the endorsement happens, the condition for a run is met.
Observers will watch to see if Biden follows through on his own words. The public now knows his stated requirement for a 2028 bid. The question remains whether he will actually enter the race. His past legal troubles and family history make this a unique situation. The facts are clear on what he said to the billionaire owner.
