President Donald Trump used his platform at a coronavirus task force briefing on Wednesday to attack Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The president pivoted to the election after a reporter observed that his "credibility rating" had taken a hit over his response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump replied by pivoting to the 2020 election.
"I see that they're very high," the president said, insisting that "95% of the Republican Party" backs him.
"We just had a poll that was done by a very reputable group where I'm beating sleepy Joe Biden by a lot in the state of Florida," he continued. "And in other states. So, I don't really know who you're talking about."
