President Joe Biden says he is confident he could beat former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 rematch. 

Biden made the prediction Tuesday night in a CNN interview in which the president also said he is waiting until after the midterm elections to decide whether to seek reelection.

"I believe I can beat Donald Trump again," said Biden when asked whether his decision would be based on him thinking he's only candidate who can beat Trump. 

The administration has said the president plans on running in 2024, but Biden has not officially announced his reelection campaign.

Trump has yet to say whether he plans to run.

A Marquette Law School poll late last month showed that 72% of U.S. adults do not want Biden to run again. In a hypothetical rematch, the poll showed that Biden has a 4-point edge over Trump.
