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.

    She’s not popular enough by far. She kinda fell off once Biden was elected and hasn’t had much of the spotlight. That’s a problem with name recognition with voters. Also, what’s she accomplished that most people would know of?

    The issue is incumbency bias: winners are perceived to be able to win again. That and she’s VP. If anything happens to Biden, she becomes president. For that reason alone she’s a terrible candidate for a democratic primary. Biden would then need a new VP candidate for the election which would be further scrutinized.
