Fox News’ Peter Doocy continues to provoke President Joe Biden with his leading questions, as seen in a recent video. Biden’s reactions to Doocy’s tactics have ranged from anger to amusement. On Thursday, as Biden was about to board Marine One, he engaged in a tense exchange with Doocy.
Biden playfully patted Doocy’s shoulder and questioned why he always takes his questions. Doocy responded by asking why people should be more concerned about abortion access than Biden’s age. Biden dismissed the comparison between the two issues.
The tension escalated when Doocy asked why Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump in swing state polls. Citing a New York Times poll that showed Biden losing to Trump in five battleground states in a hypothetical 2024 rematch, Doocy sought an explanation. Biden, pointing a finger at Doocy, accused him of not reading the polls properly. He claimed that out of ten polls, he is leading in eight of them, a statement that was not immediately verified.
In response to the Times’ findings, Biden’s campaign spokesperson, Kevin Muñoz, downplayed the importance of polls and emphasized their focus on hard work rather than fretting about numbers. Muñoz stated that they are confident they will win in 2024 by diligently working towards their goals.
The ongoing dynamic between Biden and Doocy continues to captivate viewers and highlight the adversarial relationship between the president and Fox News. As both parties engage in these confrontations, it remains to be seen how their interactions will influence public perception and political discourse.
