Matt Gorman says idea of Biden staying in the 2024 race is 'delusion of the highest order'

All-Star' panelists Francesca Chambers, Matt Gorman and Antjuan Seawright discuss a report claiming that President Biden regrets exiting the 2024 presidential race on 'Special Report.'
The article discusses comments made by Matt Gorman, a former spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, on Fox News. Gorman criticizes the notion that President Joe Biden will remain in the 2024 presidential race, calling it a "delusion of the highest order." He points out that despite Biden's insistence on running, there are growing concerns within the Democratic Party about his age, health, and electability. Gorman suggests that these concerns are leading to discussions about potential replacements, with names like Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and Kamala Harris being floated as possible candidates. He argues that the Democratic Party might be forced to make a change due to these internal pressures and the political climate.
