Veteran journalist and commentator Brit Hume said it is a “far cry from certain” that President Joe Biden will run for reelection in 2024, and added that, health-wise, Biden is “clearly deteriorating, he’s clearly senile.”
On Monday’s Special Report w/Brett Baier, Hume was asked about Biden’s comment that he plans to run again in 2024.
“I don’t think it’s at all clear that he intends to run again, but I do think that as a political matter, you have to say that,” replied Hume.
Because if you suggest or hint or outright say that you’re not going to run again, that makes you instantly a lame duck,” he added. “Lame duck presidents don’t do well, their influence wanes overnight. So I think this was boilerplate in a sense, but boiler plate that had to be uttered.”
Hume continued, “I think it’s a far cry from certain he’ll run again or that he’ll be in any condition to. I think the thing we have to watch is the question of whether he serves out his first term.”
“He’s clearly deteriorating, he’s clearly senile, and his health is -- despite his doctor’s comments to the contrary,” said Hume. “When you’re falling down stairs and so on, as he did climbing the stairs to Air Force One, that’s worrisome.”

I see no reason to contradict Hume, but I am wondering who is running things. Dr Jill? Is she pulling an Edith Wilson?
He was faking it, he has always been an apologist for the Bush League Republicans and the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
“The DemonRat party is now the New Communist party!”
You mean the repackaged, new and improved communist party. (There is a reason USA Today newspaper in the early 80s assigned the color red to the GOP. It naturally fits with the demonkkkraps).
“Had the media covered the election honestly, we would not be in this situation.”
Mark my words ... if Trump runs in 2024, they will use Xiden’s dementia to convince all the Karens that Trump is 78, like Xiden was in 2020, and a person that age should not be POTUS.
Bret Hume needed to write something before his deadline. There’s no point in giving his opinion about Biden’s future as it relates to his health. We already know about Biden’s questionable health.
I don’t chatter on about my grandfather’s health. It’s a subject that leads nowhere and not respectful.
No contradiction of Brit, but this is not really news. What is news is that Xiden’s dementia has progressed with a speed and to a level that Brit is sounding the alarm.
Anyone who has cared for a dementia family member, would probably know what I am talking about.
Biden clearly had problems earlier, but 1) some people didn't want to jump the gun and pass a judgement that could be seen as being premature and politically motivated, 2) Biden had his physical this month so his mental state is particularly relevant now, and 3) Brit Hume isn't on TV that much now, he probably wasn't asked about this earlier, and on those other occasion she may have had other things to say that were more important at the time.
Stunned that Brit would say this....such a loyal Dem.
I question if Brandon can even make it until the next election.
The swampers like Hume didn’t want to undermine Biden while Trump and MAGA were on the ballot. Now it’s all about the midterms and electing assistant Democrats. So Hume is just fine with taking a few shots at Biden.
Or Hillary.
I hope he doesn't, but if he does, I hope they video record it.
“I hope he doesn’t, but if he does, I hope they video record it.”
That would be macabre video containing an horrific mountain of crispy mimes in smoky berets
Duh
Say what you will about Hume, he has this IDGAS attitude which is refreshing. I heard him say Biden was going senile, earlier this year, probably before the jet stairs cluster-stumble.
And now Hannity has Trump on with another exclusive.
Shaun......that cameo shot of Trump is WAAAY to close. Ne never looks good
jumping down my throat.
Very bad optics. This damages Trump tremendously. He’s not gonna make it......

I don’t think his vote mattered either way.
Good on him for speaking some obvious truth while politely dancing around.
Just so you know. It ain’t Jill. She has no power except to be a seeing eye dog for Brandon.
It will be someone you don’t expect and “moderate uniter”
A peace offering. Maybe Tulsi.
