President Joe Biden still might not be the Democrat nominee, but if he wants to be, he will have "enormous power" as an incumbent despite enormous failures, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.

"Incumbent presidents have enormous power," Gingrich told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. "It's very tough to take on an incumbent president inside his own party.

"But my working assumption is whoever runs, whether it's Biden or somebody else, is going to have to carry the burden of four years of bad government, bad economy, open borders, weakness around the world, rising crime rates," Gingrich added to host John Catsimatidis, "all the different things you and I know are going on and that's all going to be causing them enormous problems."

Gingrich pointed to Biden as the front-runner among Democrats, while former President Donald Trump, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, and potentially Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin might be those with the best chance to challenge the party in power.

"Many things can happen between now and the nomination, and a lot more can happen between now and the general election," Gingrich said.
