But he won't be holding his breath.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier fired back at Democratic critics, who have sought to undermine his reporting on President Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....'s record of disturbing public incidents.
And, while Baier is not yet ready to declare a 'White House cover-up' of the president's true condition, he's not ruling it out and he's certainly not done investigating who knew what and when.
'There was clearly an effort to prevent some of what they knew [about Biden's health] from getting out,' Baier told the Mail. 'We're going to find out that there's a lot more to this... What got [Biden] from adamant that he will be the nominee to writing a letter that he was going to step down? What was that? What epiphany happened?'
For his part, Baier revealed he has heard potentially explosive 'rumors' that former Speaker of the House Nancy
San Fran NanPelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
was threatening to release polling that undermined Biden's case for staying in the race.
And he said that President Obama was reportedly exerting his influence behind the scenes to push Biden off the political stage.
In our interview, Baier also questioned who is truly in charge in the White House, as Biden seemingly hands over more influence and power to his Vice President.
'Now that you're going to have Kámala Harris

meeting separately with foreign leaders, like we saw with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu [last week] and having her own pressers,' Baier said, 'we have a situation where President Biden may fade from the spotlight and there could be, in essence, a co-presidency.'
In the 16 years that he's anchored Special Report, taking over from his friend and mentor FNC legend Brit Hume, Baier said that he has never been through such a 'crazy' and 'consequential' period in US politics.
And, he made clear, the story is far from over.
In the days and weeks before Biden shocked the country by appearing frail and confused on a debate stage with Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, Baier and his FOX News Channel (FNC) colleagues were accused of spreading manipulated videos or 'cheap fakes' of the president.
It's an allegation, Baier argues, that should now be dismissed as patently absurd.
'This wasn't a video that we were editing,' he said. 'This was a video that showed President Biden being led off the stage by former President Obama [at a June 15 fundraiser in Los Angeles]. It was there for viewers to see.'
