WASHINGTON — President Trump found the idea of a Hunter Biden-Jasmine Crocket 2028 Democratic presidential ticket both amusing and terrifying on the latest episode of “Pod Force One,” out now.
“That would be some ticket. No, these people are crazy, so you never know what’s going to happen,” Trump quipped after The Post’s Miranda Devine joked that Hunter and Crockett (D-Texas) could be a “joint ticket.”
The jest came after Trump weighed in on Hunter’s decision to come out forcefully in defense of his father, former President Joe Biden, in a pair of interviews last week.

The former first son blamed Democrats’ 2024 electoral loss on the party ditching his father and blamed former elder Biden’s disastrous June 27, 2024, debate performance against Trump on his use of Ambien — apparently without a prescription.
“Well, they had two chances to win the election,” Trump told Devine. “They had him, and that didn’t work out, and he was down by 25 points or something, and then they switched him. It’s like taking a prize fighter out in the middle of the fight. It’s not fair.
“They took him out, they put Kamala [in]. Nobody knew who Kamala was,” he added. “I guess they say she’s going to try it again [in 2028], and I don’t see it.”
“But how about Crockett? Crockett is their new star.”
Trump then bashed the outspoken Texas congresswoman as “a low-IQ person,” prompting Devine to joke about a team-up of the two Democrats in 2028.
Crockett, 44, has passionately defended the 46th president, insisting that his mental acuity “is supreme when it comes to comparing him to Donald Trump.”
“I never saw anything in Joe Biden that made me wonder whatsoever, and it’s not that I was with Joe Biden every single day, that’s for sure,” Crockett told Katie Couric’s “Next Question” podcast in an interview last month. “The way that I would describe Joe is like, I mean, he’s a granddaddy, right?”
Crockett was recently the subject of an Atlantic profile piece that revealed she uses a photo of herself as the lockscreen wallpaper on her phone.
Meanwhile, Hunter’s recent interviews caught the eye of podcast titan Joe Rogan, who mused that the former first son “could be president” one day as he came across as “smarter than his dad.”
After riffing about Hunter and Crockett, Devine noted that she had been requested to ask Trump about becoming First Minister of Scotland when his term concludes.
Trump, whose mother Mary Anne MacLeod was born on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, suggested “I could do that” in response.
“I would think I might be eligible,” the 79-year-old added. “I could be, within six months or something like that. But it is a special place.”
