Biden Swiftly Fact-Checks Fox Reporter Over Polls Showing Him 'Trailing Trump'

After Fox's Peter Doocy asked Joe Biden why he was 'trailing Trump' in polls, Biden clapped right back with a fact-check.

President Joe Biden swiftly fact-checked Fox News reporter Peter Doocy after Doocy asked Biden why he was "trailing" former President Donald Trump in polls.

As Biden prepared to board Marine One on the White House's South Lawn, the exchange between the two escalated, with Biden asking:


“Why do you think I’ll always take your questions?”

Doocy wasted no time in asking the first of his two pointed questions:

"Why do you think it is that people should be more concerned about abortion access than your age?"

Biden responded that these two issues were not "comparable," highlighting the complexity and depth of the concerns surrounding both topics. Abortion access and a president's age are distinct issues that demand nuanced consideration.

Doocy's second question focused on recent poll results, specifically a New York Times poll showing Biden trailing Trump in five battleground states in a hypothetical 2024 rematch—but he didn't anticipate the President would fact-check him in expert fashion.

You can hear what Biden said in the video below.

After Doocy asked Biden for his thoughts on why he's "trailing Trump in all these swing state polls," Biden gave the following response:

“Because you don’t read the polls! There are 10 polls ― eight of them, I’m beating him in those states. Eight of them. You guys only do two.”
"CNN. New York Times. Check it out. Check it out. We'll get you a copy of all the other polls."

People appreciated Biden's swift response—and criticized Doocy in the process.


Earlier this week, the White House urged the public to exercise caution when interpreting the results of opinion polls, particularly those showing Biden trailing Trump in several battleground states.

The White House's stance on the recent poll results reflects a broader perspective on the limitations of polling in predicting electoral outcomes. While opinion polls provide valuable insights into voter sentiment at a given moment, they are by no means infallible indicators of future election results.

Democrats' success in this week's elections have also helped bolster the White House's position, indicating the party has more support than polls might lead people to believe.

While New York Times polls showing Trump ahead of Biden did have Democrats freaked out, they seemed to ignore other polls showing, as Biden notes, the exact opposite result.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
