He announced on Wednesday that he&#8217;s joined Substack, a self-publishing platform, where he will publish a column titled \u201cWhere\u2019s Hunter?\u201d, playfully referencing a phrase from Donald Trump\u2019s 2020 campaign. Biden\u2019s initial post, titled \u201cThe Courage to See,\u201d addresses themes of addiction, recovery, redemption, and his personal experiences, including sharing a self-portrait artwork.<\/p>\n<p>Sence gaining a important following earlier in the summer, largely criticized and followed for his outspoken commentary on politics, culture, and personal life, Biden has become active on multiple platforms and podcasts, notably discussing his efforts to help others struggling with addiction. Despite ongoing speculation about a potential presidential run in 2028, Biden has dismissed such ambitions, humorously remarking that announcing a candidacy could risk a relapse. His activities have also included criticizing media figures and engaging with followers, solidifying his presence as a vocal and visible public figure.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4597297\/hunter-biden-takes-internet-storm\/\">Hunter Biden<\/a> reemerged this summer with a steady social media and podcast presence, and he\u2019s heading into the fall with a new gig: writer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, the son of former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\">Joe Biden<\/a> announced that he\u2019s joined Substack, the online self-publishing platform favored by independent journalists, pundits, and other media figures.

He quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, where he routinely criticizes Republicans, Democrats, and media figures. Biden has been particularly critical of CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper, who published a book after Joe Biden left office detailing an alleged orchestrated cover-up by White House staff of the 46th president\u2019s failing physical and cognitive health. In addition to his political commentary, Biden posts about culture, the Philadelphia Eagles, and his personal life, and he steadily interacts with his followers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, he\u2019s become a mainstay on the podcast circuit.
