Hunter Biden Jokes About Being Gavin Newsom's 2028 Running Mate

Hunter Biden later said the remark was a joke after clips spread on social media and some outlets treated it as a serious 2028 campaign signal.

  • Hunter Biden joked on California Gov Gavin Newsom's podcast Thursday that he'd run in 2028 only as vice president, quipping the White House residence is "a lot cooler."
  • Gavin Newsom released a teaser clip Thursday before the full episode aired, prompting Polymarket and social media users to amplify the remark as a genuine 2028 campaign announcement.
  • After the full episode aired Friday, Biden clarified on social media the comment was a joke, telling one critic, "Jeez man have a sense of humor."
  • The New York Post and TMZ reported on the clip; the former labeled Biden's remark a joke despite its headline, while other users mocked a hypothetical ticket.
  • Biden emphasized the joke's intent by posting, "No Democrat has won the White House this century without a Biden on the ticket," underscoring the comment's political humor.
