The 56-year-old talked about the possibility during an interview on Sep. 6 with radio host John Catsimatidis on WABC's The Cats Roundtable.
Is Hunter Biden Going To Run for President?
Catsimatidis directly asked Hunter if he would consider running for office. He answered by naming several Democratic governors he believed could lead the party.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and his counterpart in California, Gavin Newsom, were on Hunter's list.
"They're doing incredible things," Hunter added. "They're running their states incredibly well from the center-left. And I think that they are all leaders that we'd be very proud to have serve as president of the United States."
Castimatidis asked Hunter again if he would run.
He replied jokingly, "My answer is that if I get your endorsement, I may have to."
Hunter did not announce a formal campaign during his appearance. However, he did discuss some of the issues he would want a candidate to address, including income inequality and health care.
"A nurse shouldn't be paying more in taxes than a billionaire," he said.
President Donald Trump Also Came Up
Hunter went on to add that it was the issue of income inequality that helped President Donald Trump get into office.
"I think one of the reasons that Donald Trump won in the past is because he tapped into an anger, an anger about inequality that has grown and grown and grown in this country and what to do about it," he said.
Hunter also said he believes that whoever the next President is needs to be committed to the Constitution.
"I think that I want somebody to represent America, whoever is the next president, to just commit to one thing, to commit to adhering to the rule of law, to commit to the idea that we believe in this constitutional republic," he said.
Hunter, a recovering addict, shared that his focus continues to be on sharing his experience and letting others like him know they are not alone.
"I get a chance to talk to people about the thing that I care most about right now, John," he said. "The thing that I care most about is the 50 million Americans that are still suffering and sick, that are out there with their addictions that suffer every day from that."
He added, "I believe that just my speaking and being out there as someone in recovery is something that I hope gives some solace to people that they're not alone in their struggle."
