Kern Lima said during the interview on her podcast that Hunter could be the "next star" in the Biden family, pointing to his social media presence and several recent podcast interviews, in which he has opened up about his struggle with addiction and more.
"How do you and President Biden feel about his recent explosion?" she asked the former first lady.
