Presidents, they’re just like us. On Monday, President Joe Biden waited in line at a polling place in New Castle, Delaware, to cast his early ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Biden’s presence at the early voting location delighted other soon-to-be voters, including an elderly woman in a wheelchair who was ahead of Biden in line. Biden was seen pushing the woman, who was visibly emotional when she first saw Biden, in her wheelchair up a ramp into the building.
Biden was also seen speaking to other people who were waiting in line to vote. One of his line mates also handed Biden their cellphone, and Biden was seen speaking to someone on the other line—something Biden has been known to do when he meets people at events.
Biden was asked by reporters if the experience was bittersweet, as he is not on the ballot after his surprise decision in July to drop out of the race and endorse Harris. But he said it is "just sweet."
