Joe Biden whisked to safety by Secret Service as car slams into motorcade

Biden was emerging from his Delaware campaign headquarters when the car ploughed into an SUV guarding his motorcade

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were rushed to safety by the Secret Service after a car suddenly ploughed into a parked SUV that was guarding the presidential motorcade.

Mr Biden was walking out of his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday night to his waiting armoured SUV when a silver copper sedan hit a US Secret Service vehicle that was closing off intersections for the president’s departure.

The sedan, which carried a Delaware licence plate, then tried to continue into a closed-off intersection, before Secret Service personnel surrounded the vehicle with their weapons drawn and instructed the driver to put his hands up.

Mr Biden was captured looking stunned and froze when he heard the loud bang close by.

dhork,

The article says that Biden “looked stunned and froze”, but there is video embedded in the article and it’s clear that Biden was stunned in the sense of “Holy shit, what was that?”, and not in terms of having some sort of episode. But now we’re gonna get all the idiots reminding us that they think Biden is too old for all this.

cmbabul,

I mean Biden is too old, so is Trump, so is Nancy, so are most of the folks currently running our government. It’s a problem, but it’s not one unique to Joe, it’s systemic

Biden the a far better and more mentally qualified candidate than Trump for virtually any position but especially president, not to mention not expressing desires to be a dictator or echoed Hitler.
