Former Clinton adviser Dick Morris claimed on Sunday that any chance President Joe Biden had at reelection in 2024 had effectively been cut off at the knees by the still-unfolding classified document scandal.

Morris, a former adviser to Democratic former President Bill Clinton spoke about the situation with John Catsimatidis on his WABC radio show, “The Cats Roundtable,” saying, “That’s going to be the absolute end for Biden.”

Morris pointed out the fact that the documents — which have thus far been found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., as well as Biden’s home and garage in Wilmington, Delaware — were located in places where the president’s embattled son Hunter may have had access to them.

Several reports have indicated that Hunter Biden listed the Wilmington home as his place of residence in 2017 following his divorce — at which time he was still serving as a board member of Burisma and his father had already left the White House.

Morris also addressed recent polling that indicates just one-fourth of Democrats want Biden to run again in 2024.

“When Biden as president can’t get more than 25% of the primary vote in his own party, that’s near death. He’s so incredibly vulnerable,” Morris said, adding, “You’d think he’d be at 40% or 50% at the least. That means pretty much anybody that breathes on him can knock him over.”

Morris also claimed that the contents of the documents in question could prove troublesome for Biden as well — especially if they contained anything relating to Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine.

“It’s different. Trump took them like mementos, like an ashtray. A letter from Kim Jong-un that he could show people … [Biden’s situation] is directly linked to a big bribery scandal involving the vice president and his son. That’s a whole other situation,” he said.

Morris’ overall assessment was simple: “It will knock Biden out of the race.”

Robert Gates, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Defense, slammed politicians’ handling of classified information during an interview over the weekend where he also took a shot at President Joe Biden’s handling of the war in Ukraine.

Gates made the remarks during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” while discussing current political issues with host Chuck Todd.

When asked what Biden should be doing differently in Ukraine, Gates said that the things that the administration is currently doing — shipping tanks and other critical military hardware to Ukraine — should’ve been done months ago.

“A lot of this could’ve been done sooner,” Gates said. “And, you know, they’re talking about it potentially being six months, a year, or more before the Abrams tanks get there. I think the key thing about the Abrams tank decision was that it unlocked Germans being able to provide.”

When asked about recent classified document scandals that have engulfed Trump, Biden, and former Vice President Mike Pence, Gates said that the problem is that the people who are handling the documents are negligent.

“You have a legacy, I think, in Washington of sort of being a guy that sort of fixes sort of dumb problems. Meaning Like stuff — you’re like, “Why isn’t this fixed?” Todd continued. “So how would you [fix] this classified document situation that our politics finds itself in, is this something that the bureaucracy should fix? Or is there something more nefarious?”

“Well, I think – I think it’s about people being more responsible,” Gates responded. “I think there’s an element of carelessness. In some cases there may be intent to take the documents. I think maybe we ought to look at the way transitions take place, so that there’s a more orderly process for these classified documents.”

When Todd noted that the Pentagon was “orderly when it comes to classified documents,” Gates said that nothing classified ever leaves the building.

Gates has previously taken shots at Biden over his foreign policy record, which many critics say is disastrous.

Gates warned back in 2019 that Biden had been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Gates listed several examples in 2021 of foreign policy views that Biden has previously held that were wrong.

Gates said that Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan made him physically sick to watch because it did not have to be as bad as it was.
