Biden Takes Selfies with Passengers as He Takes Commercial Flight
Joe Biden flew commercial from Washington to South Carolina amid an hourlong airport delay, greeting passengers and posing for selfies while traveling with Secret Service protection.
- On Friday, fog-driven delays caused an hourlong ground stop at Reagan National Airport's Terminal D, and former President Joe Biden, accompanied by a U.S. Secret Service detail, drew passenger attention.

- He boarded the commuter jet in the third-row first-class cabin, with members of his security detail spread throughout as he traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, for a South Carolina Democratic Party event.
