Radio host Charlamagne tha God questioned President Joe Biden's odds of winning the presidential election in November, and said he's not endorsing the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent this time around.

Echoing others sounding the alarm on Biden's grim poll numbers, Charlamagne told Fox News that several polls have shown Biden losing to former President Donald Trump in the general election.

"I think the thing that should scare everybody is when you look across the aisle, and you see a guy that's got 91 criminal charges, he's been impeached twice, he's got four indictments … how are you losing to that guy?" he asked. "Like, seriously."

Democrats should be asking themselves if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is "still a winnable ticket," Charlamagne said, adding that Republicans should be pondering the same question.

"Is Donald Trump still a winnable ticket?" he said. "I know the polls say right now he'd beat up Joe Biden in a general election. But I don't know. I really, truly don't know."

While "The Breakfast Club" co-host endorsed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020, he said he won't offer any such endorsement to the Democrat ticket for the anticipated rematch.

"I don't regret voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just because it kept Donald Trump out of the White House," Charlamagne told Fox. "What I regret is endorsing them. They come around and they court you, and they tell you sweet nothings and tell you all the things that you know you want to hear. But once you get in a relationship with each other, they don't really back up a lot of those promises."

The multimedia mogul's decision not to endorse Biden comes as the president continues to shed minority voters, who appear less inclined to vote for him in 2024.

In a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll of Georgia voters, Trump beat Biden 44.7% to 36.9% in a state that flipped blue in 2020. The poll also found that Black voters seem less inclined to vote for the president than they were just last year.

According to the survey, 58.6% of Black Georgians say they would vote for Biden, while 20.4% say they plan to vote for Trump. In November, however, 78.4% of Black voters said they supported Biden, and just 11.7% said they would be voting for Trump.

Charlamagne also commented on first lady Jill Biden's recent claims that her husband has the "energy" and "vigor" to serve another four-year term.

"He doesn't look full of vigor like his wife says. Not to me, anyway," he said.

"Personally, I don't see that vigor," he said. "And I don't think a lot of other Americans see that vigor anyway. I mean, that's the thing that a lot of people say about Joe Biden. I think a 60- or 65-year-old Joe Biden with this economy — and I'm putting that in air quotes — doing as well as it is, I think he probably wins in 2024."
