Hunter Biden and Ted Cruz Signal Early Interest in 2028 Presidential Race
The 2028 U.S. presidential election is seeing an unexpectedly early activation, with figures from both major parties signaling potential candidacies. Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, stated in a September 6 radio interview that he might consider running for president in 2028 if he receives sufficient support. He acknowledged a strong pool of potential Democratic candidates, including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Concurrently, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is reportedly exploring a presidential campaign, conducting polls and visiting battleground states. Cruz has openly expressed his ambition to become president, building on his experience from the 2016 Iowa caucus victory. This early maneuvering is occurring even before the 2026 midterm elections, indicating a heightened pace in the lead-up to the next presidential cycle.
