Newsom-Biden 2028? Hunter Tells Gavin That He'd Be His VP

What could possibly go wrong?
In case you missed it, Hunter Biden appeared on Gavin Newsom's podcast last weekend. This meeting of the minds, two men whose SAT scores combined probably couldn't crack 1600 (and if then, only just barely), was part of two campaigns.
First, there's Newsom's campaign for president. Let's face facts: Gavin doesn't do side hustles for fun. This is a guy who'd like nothing more than to be with a glass of wine and on X with caps lock on and the weakly sarcastic takes flowing like his merlot. He wouldn't be podcasting if he weren't trying to rebrand himself as mildly accessible before the 2028 primaries start in earnest.
Then, there's the odd laundering of Hunter Biden through the media spin cycle. After being found guilty of both tax evasion and gun charges and being pardoned by his dad, Hunter initially shirked the limelight in the months following the Bidens' eviction from the White House.
However, of late, he's started owning his ex-crackhead personality and comes across as the most sane Biden, somehow. (Keep in mind this is a matter of appearances and comparison; being the most sane Biden is a bit like being the most tolerable "Mighty Ducks" movie.)
Well, it turns out that Newsom has a ready and willing running mate if he wants one: Hunter Biden! Joe's most disappointing surrogate in the post-debate hand-wringing back in 2024, paired with Joe's most disappointing son. I can't think of anything the members of the Democratic Party would find more endearing than a return to the final days of the Biden debacle, except maybe hara-kiri or poison sumac boils over 87 percent of their bodies.
