Biden pressed on Trump's polling lead in battleground states
President Biden was pressed by Fox News' Peter Doocy on former President Donald Trump's polling lead in battleground states in recent polling.
Reporters confronted President Biden about polls showing him well behind former President Donald Trump in five out of six major battleground states on Thursday.
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Biden regarding the role of abortion in the upcoming 2024 election as well as his rivalry with Trump. Multiple polls have shown Trump with significant leads over Biden in the major swing states.
"Why do you think it is that people should be more concerned about abortion access than your age?" Doocy began.
"I don’t think it’s a comparable comparison," Biden responded.
"Why do you think it is that you’re trailing Trump in all these swing-state polls?" Doocy asked.

"Because you don’t read the polls — there are 10 polls — eight of them I’m beating him in. You guys only do two. CNN, New York Times, check it out. We’ll get you a copy," Biden said.
Another reporter then pressed Biden, asking, "You don't believe you're losing in swing states?"
"No, I do not," Biden said.
