Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, has become an active voice on X after years of limited public commentary.
Since mid-May 2026, he has posted hundreds of times and attracted more than half a million followers, marking a significant shift in his public visibility.
The account HunterBiden, created in 2013, was largely dormant until May 19, when it posted: “I’m Hunter Biden. You’ve never actually heard from me.” The post, now pinned, quickly drew millions of views and set the tone for his renewed online presence.
Surge in Activity
Since reactivating his account, Biden has posted nearly 500 times. His activity increased notably after he marked seven years of sobriety on June 1.
During this period, he has engaged directly with critics, commented on political figures, and shared personal reflections.
His posts have covered topics including his recovery from substance abuse, family relationships, and responses to ongoing scrutiny over his business dealings and legal history.
He has also referenced public figures such as CNN anchor Jake Tapper, discussed art sales, and commented on President Donald Trump.
Hunter Biden’s Posts
Biden’s posts often blend personal disclosure with political commentary. He has addressed past substance abuse, family dynamics, and specific controversies, including questions about a reported 2023 cocaine incident at the White House, which drew significant engagement.
His tone is frequently direct and informal, with occasional self-deprecating remarks about his past.
He has also responded sharply to critics, using the platform in a conversational, reactive manner rather than through formal messaging.
Follower Growth and Reach
The account has grown rapidly, reaching approximately 598,000 followers as of June 7. Individual posts have generated millions of views, with some surpassing 4 million. Engagement spans likes, reposts, and replies from users across different political perspectives.

Biden has described himself on the platform as an artist, author, and recovery advocate. He has also referenced family members, including Jill Biden, and defended them against criticism while occasionally touching on his father’s health and political legacy.
Hunter Biden, 56, has faced federal convictions, investigations into overseas business dealings in Ukraine and China, and sustained public scrutiny linked to a laptop containing personal data. He has previously acknowledged struggles with addiction in both public statements and his memoir.
Republicans React
The renewed activity has drawn reactions from political figures, particularly Republican commentators and allies of Donald Trump, who have highlighted both the volume and tone of his posts.
Trump himself has been asked about Biden’s online presence during public appearances.
