Trump Says Hunter Biden Could Run in 2028 as He Mocks 2 Scandal-Hit Democrats

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 4

Summary

  • Hunter Biden could have a shot in a 2028 Democratic primary, Trump said Thursday, framing the idea as plausible despite Biden's "past" and public scandals.
  • Fox News' Peter Doocy prompted the exchange after Hunter Biden became active on X in May and floated—possibly jokingly—the idea of a 2028 presidential run.
  • Trump argued scandal has not sunk other Democrats, citing Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and Texas nominee James Talarico while ridiculing both men.
  • At the same event, Trump also said Joe Biden seemed "fine" in a private Oval Office meeting on Nov. 13, 2024, though he added the former president was "never the sharpest guy."
