Authorities have chosen to keep the driver's identity under wraps, fueling speculation about a potential covert mission. Nevertheless, what we do know is that the individual, identified as James Cooper, is now facing charges related to an alcohol-related driving offense and inattentive driving. So not only did he indulge in a few too many drinks, but he was also not paying attention—a true double whammy of poor decisions.
The suspect, James Cooper, apparently attempted to flee the accident scene, momentarily embracing the allure of a high-speed chase. Unfortunately for him, the Secret Service and law enforcement officials acted swiftly, apprehending him before his brief escapade could escalate further. Better luck next time, Cooper.
Despite the unexpected drama, a Secret Service agent reassured the public that there was no cause for concern; the incident amounted to a minor fender bender. The President's motorcade continued its journey without incident, leaving the public with nothing more than this amusing (albeit slightly concerning) story to share with friends. Oh, Biden, always finding ways to keep us entertained.
For those curious about Biden's frequent visits to his Wilmington campaign headquarters, this incident adds to the growing list of his trips to the office. Whether it's a fondness for office snacks or other reasons, Biden appears drawn to the campaign headquarters. Notably, as of June 2022, Biden was reportedly on track to set records for the most vacation time taken by a president—a reminder that even leaders need a break from time to time.
