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.

          The poll asked who would you rather vote for. Democrat voters said they would rather vote for “any other democrat”

          Quit making stupid arguments and repeating back your MSNBC garbage

      Kamala Harris.

      But it’s weird you think Biden is wrong and he’s the only one that can beat trump.

      And expect me to defend Biden’s statement.

      Is this one of those times moderates tell someone they should know better than listening to a moderate politician?

        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.

          Well, maybe you should go ask Biden for his list of 50 other Dems…

          Then tell him he’s wrong and doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but also he’s the only one that can win despite polls showing he’s not even that well off against trump.

          I’m over the cognizant dissonance his supporters keep insisting on. No idea why people think the correct response to Republican bullshit is doing the same thing as them

            Lol. You have no answers and the feeble ones you’ve tried are easily debunked. You’re not trying to get a better candidate you’re trying to sow dissatisfaction.

              Ah yes…

              Recognizing an issue is the same as causing it to some people.

              I thought that ended with the Salem witch trials, yet here we are.

              It’s snowing here now, just like the weather person said it would. Should I call him up and demand he shovel my driveway? He saw this coming, so clearly he caused it by acknowledging it. If he’d have just pretended it was going to be 70 degrees it would be a nice day out
