Chris Hayes pointed to Joe Biden emphatically declaring hes got to finish the job as a noteworthy moment from the presidents Thursday press conference in which he reiterated his commitment to staying in the 2024 race.

The All In host told a panel of MSNBC hosts that he found Bidens remarks very striking, adding that they gave a window into his thinking amid calls for the president to prove hes up to the task to lead or step aside .

Ive been comparing him to a World Series star starter in the seventh game of the World Series whos got four outs left to get in a close game thats thrown 120 pitches, Hayes said.

The host noted that when the baseball teams manager approaches the mound to pull the pitcher, they never want to go.

They curse into their glove ... they fight it, Hayes said.

That to me ... was an honest articulation of where all this motivations coming from, even if hes not correct about his own political prospects. Or in denial about the inexorable trajectory of being a human being who is mortal, like we all are. That was, to me, clarifying.

WATCH-- @chrislhayes: Bidens mentality of, Ive got to finish the job is like the star pitcher who doesnt want to be taken out of the game.
