Shortly before the crash, Jill Biden had stepped out and greeted the crowd gathered outside, wishing them “happy holidays” before entering a vehicle.

Just moments before the collision, a reporter had asked Joe Biden about his thoughts on his declining poll numbers as he was walking toward his vehicle. According to NBC News, Biden responded, “They’re the wrong polls.”
