President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Hunter Biden “could do well” in a 2028 presidential campaign if he chose to run.After Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy posed a question on the topic in the Oval Office, Trump initially doubted the efficacy of Biden’s hypothetical presidential bid due to his “past.”“You would think that, you know, [the] past has something to do with winning an election, and I would say his past is not the greatest,” he said, alluding to the many scandals and controversies surrounding the son of former President Joe Biden.
In the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, the younger Biden became mired in a scandal regarding the contents of his laptop, which sparked widespread allegations of improper foreign influence peddling. Separately, he faced federal gun and tax charges.
Hunter Biden was later pardoned by his father in December 2024 before the former president left office.
“Remember, ‘Where’s Hunter?'” Trump asked. “It became the No. 1 shirt anywhere in the world for about three weeks.”
Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign originally launched the parody shirt, which quickly became popular within conservative circles.
