Furious Trump tells staff he’s ahead, denies campaign strain, says ‘Fauci’s a disaster’

After the president left the call,Brock McCleary, a pollster for the campaign, said that internal polling shows the president’s standing improving in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and other battleground states.

He referred to a memo that Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon sent to the Democrat’s supporters on Sunday that warned of a tight race and against voter complacency.

“That’s what’s got the Biden campaign sweating no doubt. They learned one thing, we all learned one thing from four years ago. The most important fact about this election is that this president is a closer,” he said. “History sure seems to be begging to repeat itself.”
