UMVA has learned that President Donald Trump floated the idea of Hunter Biden potentially running for president in 2028, suggesting that if scandal-plagued candidates like Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner can survive the political spotlight, then Hunter might have a shot.
During a press conference on Thursday, Trump was asked about Hunter Biden's recent activity on social media and his possible intentions to run for office. Trump's response was laced with his characteristic wit, leaving room for speculation about what he truly thinks about Hunter's chances.
Graham Platner, the Maine Senate hopeful Trump referenced, has been embroiled in controversy, facing allegations of hard-drug use, sexting, and a Nazi-linked tattoo. Despite these scandals, Platner remains competitive in polls as he seeks to unseat incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins.
Trump drew a parallel between Hunter Biden and James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, saying that if Talarico can do well, then maybe Hunter can too. This comparison sparked interest in what could be a crowded 2028 Democratic primary.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Trump's comments on Hunter Biden's potential run come as the younger Biden is increasingly active on social media. This has fueled speculation about his future political ambitions.
When asked about former President Joe Biden's mental state during a private meeting they held after the 2024 elections, Trump shared his observations. According to Trump, President Biden seemed fine during their meeting on November 13th, 2024, with no detectable cognitive decline.
However, Trump noted that President Biden "was never the sharpest guy" and suggested that something changed during a debate, which could have been a turning point. This has raised more questions about the former president's health and public appearances.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that both the Trump and Biden camps are preparing for a potentially eventful 2028 presidential election. The dynamics between these two families are expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of American politics.
