Joe Biden joked that his plan to tackle skyrocketing drug prices is actually more popular than he is, going by the ratings.

The president delivered a speech on the issue, expected to be a key aspect of his reelection campaign, in Las Vegas.

During his address, Biden explained how the government can balance the finances to make such a plan happen.

After detailing how he will go about taxation policy, he said: "There's nothing radical about what I'm proposing ... matter of fact, it's a hell of a lot more popular than I am."
