UMVA has learned that Hunter Biden cracked a joke on Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast, hinting he would only consider a 2028 national ticket if he could serve as vice president, citing the “cooler” residence and “easier” job.
The banter unfolded on “This Is Gavin Newsom,” where the governor introduced his guest as “Presidential candidate Hunter Biden, 2028,” a tongue‑in‑cheek nod to recent political chatter.
When pressed about the buzz surrounding his name, Hunter replied, “I’ll run, but only as your VP, because the truth of the matter is the vice president’s residence is a lot cooler. It’s a lot easier job, too.”
That off‑hand remark landed amid a turbulent political climate, with many Americans still feeling the aftershocks of soaring inflation, energy shortages, and contentious foreign policies.
Behind the laughter lies a deeper narrative of the Biden family’s extensive business entanglements, ranging from alleged Chinese connections to Ukrainian energy deals, all while the president held office.
Legal challenges and accusations of preferential treatment have painted Hunter as a figure who seems insulated from ordinary accountability, a perception amplified by his casual podcast appearance.
Meanwhile, California under Newsom’s leadership has grappled with rising homelessness, a surge in property crimes, and an exodus of businesses and residents seeking more stable governance.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Newsom may view the Biden cameo as a strategic boost for his own national aspirations, intertwining two controversial figures on the political stage.
