"Why do you think it is that people should be more concerned about abortion access than your age?" Doocy then asked, to which Biden replied, "I don't think it's a comparable comparison."

Another reporter chimed in to ask Biden for further clarification, questioning, "You don't believe you're losing in swing states?"
"No, I do not," Biden firmly stated.

Biden said he doesn't believe he is losing in swing states.
