Could Hunter Biden run for president in 2028? Some analysts say it's not impossible. Once a Republican punchline, Joe Biden's son has reinvented himself as a social media star, gaining fans across the political spectrum with self-deprecating jokes and provocative commentary.
Social Media Comeback
Since reactivating his X account in May, Hunter has posted an average of 23 times a day. His posts, which include drug jokes and criticism of the "Epstein Elite Oligarch class," have earned him the title "Maga whisperer" from some. He has also launched a paid Substack and appeared on podcasts with far-right figures like Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes.
Trolling Trump and Vance
Hunter has been trolling JD Vance after the vice-president's comments about Biden's ice-cream licking. On National Ice Cream Day, he posted a photo of himself licking ice cream with the caption: "Hey @JDVance. I wish I knew how to quit you." He also said he would tell Trump to "go fuck his fucking self" and challenged Donald Trump Jr to a UFC fight.
Presidential Odds
When asked by a Fox News reporter about Hunter's 2028 odds, Trump suggested he might "do well." A Biden biographer told the Times: "With a character like Hunter Biden in a populist, social media-driven political environment, you have to never say never." However, some observers suspect his comeback is motivated by debt rather than political ambition.
