Former President Trump boasted of his leads over President Biden in several swing states before entering the courtroom for his New York criminal trial on Monday.

Trump touted the polling from the New York Times, and also complained that the trial against him prevents him from going on the campaign trail. He is legally required to attend all of the court proceedings in the case.

Trump leads Biden in five of the six swing states survey's in the Times' poll. While Biden holds a 2-point lead in Wisconsin, Trump holds leads of 3 points or more in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Georgia.

Trump went on to complain about his trial, once again referring to it as a partisan "witch hunt."

Michael Cohen is expected to take the stand during Monday's proceedings.
