CelebrityHunter Biden Eyes 2028 VP Slot With Newsom

TMZ reports that Hunter Biden 2028 chatter came up during an upcoming episode of the podcast This is Gavin Newsom, and Biden’s answer was not exactly a launch video. According to the outlet, Hunter said he would consider joining a future White House ticket with California Governor Gavin Newsom, but only as the vice-presidential pick.

The moment appears in a snippet TMZ said it obtained ahead of the episode’s Friday release. In the clip, Newsom reportedly introduces Biden in a teasing way as a possible presidential candidate and notes the attention around him. Biden then responds by narrowing the fantasy ticket considerably. The Oval Office, in this version of events, is apparently someone else’s desk.

What Hunter Biden reportedly said about 2028

The exchange comes during Newsom’s podcast, where the governor has been hosting conversations that often travel through politics, media, and the country’s ongoing appetite for making every public figure answer for a future campaign they may or may not be planning.

TMZ characterizes the conversation as playful, not as a formal political announcement. That matters. Hunter Biden has not announced a run for office, and the reported comment was framed around one hypothetical scenario: serving as Newsom’s running mate if Newsom were to pursue the presidency in 2028.

Hunter is, of course, the son of former President Joe Biden, who served one term in the White House. That family connection is why even a joking or semi-joking remark about a national ticket gets attention. American politics remains very efficient at recycling surnames, whether voters asked for that feature or not.

Why Gavin Newsom is central to the speculation

Newsom’s name has been linked to 2028 speculation for years, despite the governor not formally declaring a presidential bid. He is in the final year of his second and final term as California governor, which naturally invites the usual question: what comes next?

The podcast timing gives the clip extra oxygen. Newsom is not just a governor approaching the end of his tenure. He is also a prominent Democratic figure with a national profile, a media operation, and the kind of visibility that keeps campaign speculation warm even before anyone files paperwork.

According to TMZ, Newsom’s framing of Hunter as a possible presidential candidate was playful. Hunter’s answer, as reported by the outlet, redirected the premise toward a supporting role. here’s what’s actually on the table if there is a hypothetical Newsom-Biden ticket, Hunter placed himself in the second slot.

The online noise around Hunter Biden

TMZ also notes that Hunter has recently been active on social media, which has helped push him back into political conversation. The outlet describes it as a recent spree that sparked renewed discussion about what he might do next.

That does not mean there is a campaign. It means a public figure with a famous last name posted enough to make the internet do what the internet does best: assemble a theory, argue about it, and then argue about the argument.

Here’s what’s confirmed for now. Hunter Biden appeared on Newsom’s podcast. TMZ obtained a preview clip. Newsom joked about presidential buzz. Hunter reportedly said the only version he would entertain involved Newsom leading the ticket and him serving as vice president.

Whether that was a real political signal or just a podcast bit with a very famous last name attached remains unclear. The safest reading is also the least dramatic: Hunter Biden is not pitching himself as the 2028 Democratic nominee. If anything, he is publicly suggesting he would rather let Newsom take the main job in this hypothetical.
