Biden gave a speech and then sat for an interview with local NBC network affiliate WPXI on Monday. After the brief interview, the former vice president boasted about a Military Times poll that showed him leading Republican rival President Donald Trump by 3.9%.

"Did you see the recent poll out? 49% of active duty military don't trust the president? Not for him?" Biden asked.

Then, in an exaggerated whisper, he said, "They're for me," which received laughter.
