ST. LOUIS – Ahead of Missouri’s Democratic primary Tuesday, former vice president Joe Biden held a town hall in the middle of a busy intersection he wandered into.
“Joe has never felt so spry on the campaign trail,” said spokesman Andrew Bates of the presidential hopeful’s off-script interaction with voters. “His excitement to get out there is palpable, which keeps all of us around here on our toes.”
Onlookers reported seeing Biden, who stepped off his campaign bus hours earlier to “shake JFK’s hand,” weaving in and out of cars, occasionally pausing to look around with “great fear” in his eyes, only to pull a microphone out of his pocket and begin a stump speech, blocking lines of cars from moving.
“He [Biden] tapped on the window of my car, so I had to roll it down, you know?” said Stacey Peters, who was stuck in traffic on her morning commute. “I didn’t know what to do, so I just asked a question about climate change before the vice president stood up straight, shouted something about my kids in the back being ‘dog-faced whippersnappers’ and ran off to another car.”
Biden was last seen resisting the efforts of campaign staffers to lead him away from the bustling intersection.
