There's concerning news from Wilmington, Delaware, that a car slammed into the Biden motorcade.
Biden and his wife Jill were at the Biden-Harris campaign headquarters at an event in Wilmington and had just come out of the building when a car slammed into an SUV that had blocked off the street for the Bidens, waiting for them to come out.
A reporter had just asked Biden about why he’s losing to Trump in the polls and Biden said, you’re reading the "wrong polls." Then the crash occurred.
You can hear a huge smash here in the video:

The Secret Service pulled guns on the driver, and Biden and his wife were quickly bundled away from the scene.
The car, a silver copper sedan with Delaware plates being driven by a black man at the wheel appeared to hit the SUV that was shielding the motorcade at the intersection across from the entrance of the campaign headquarters.
There was a loud bang and the president appeared genuinely shocked as the collision occurred.
This was Biden's reaction, looking stunned by what occurred.
