Joe Biden takes selfies with passengers as he takes commercial flight

Flyers caught former President Joe Biden flying commercial at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington DC on Friday morning. Biden was seen waiting to board his plane to Columbia, South Carolina, for an event evening with the state's Democratic Party.

However, instead of a smooth boarding process, an hour-long ground stop caused by fog delayed his departure. The former president was accompanied by US Secret Service and uniformed local police officers.
