An SUV in President Biden's motorcade was hit by a vehicle as he was leaving his campaign headquarters in Delaware tonight.
Secret service agents surrounded the car with guns drawn as Biden was ushered into his vehicle.

James Cooper, 46, of Wilmington, was taken into custody after his silver sedan smashed into an SUV blocking an intersection, Wilmington police said.
Cooper was also charged with inattentive driving in addition to the DUI.
Officials said the crash did not appear to be intentional, with Cooper likely unaware that it was Biden’s motorcade that he had struck, CNN reported.
[Thankfully no one got injured. The Secret Service did its job by getting Biden into the armored vehicle just in case, as something like this could have been a deliberate diversion from something far more deadly. Good job all around … except for the drunk driver, of course. — Ed]
