Hunter Biden said he “may have to” run for president in 2028 if radio host John Catsimatidis endorsed him, according to a preview of an interview scheduled to air Sunday on WABC. The conditional remark stopped short of a campaign announcement.
“If I get your endorsement, I may have to,” Biden told Catsimatidis, the New York Post reported on September 5. He said one of his principal concerns was addiction, citing 50 million Americans, and described adherence to the Constitution and rule of law as a qualification he wants in the next president.
WABC lists The Cats Roundtable from 8 to 10 a.m. Sundays and promoted Biden’s appearance. At the time of this report, the full September 6 interview had not aired or appeared in the show archive, so the available evidence is the published preview and excerpts, not a complete interview.
The comment also contrasts with Biden’s earlier public denial of political plans. KFOX reported August 11 that he had said on the Macrodosing podcast, “I’m definitely not running for anything.” His later conditional wording signals openness but does not establish that he has formed a campaign, filed paperwork or decided to seek the Democratic nomination.
