Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich explained on Fox News on Thursday why he is “increasingly confident” that President Joe Biden is not the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election.
Gingrich appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” to talk about recent events. ruling Biden's handling of classified documents that special counsel Robert Hur declined to indict. According to Heo's report, Biden referred to himself during the interview as “He is an old man with poor memory. ”

“So this report basically says he's so incompetent, so sad, and so lacking in any kind of memory that the jury doesn't think he had enough cognitive capacity to do anything on purpose.” We're saying we can't convict him of willfully breaking the law because we don't think he has it.''
