Trump has long been distrustful of polling data presented to him when the numbers are negative, aides say. The two polls given to Trump — one from the Republican National Committee and another from the Trump campaign — both showed Trump trailing Biden in swing states, officials said.

Trump this week announced a set of testing guidelines that continued to leave the onus on states to develop their own plans.
