President Joe Biden says he is not allowed to “go out in the crowds” due to safety concerns.
As he was returning to the White House Monday evening, a reporter asked the president, “How was it to be back on the campaign trail today?”
“Feels good,” Biden responded.
He added, “Except I’m not able to go out in the crowds anymore. The Secret Service doesn’t let me.”
“No? Why not?” the reporter asked.
Biden said, “Because it’s too dangerous, no one gets to go out.”

It was not entirely clear what Biden meant.
His comment was made after he appeared at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris and spoke about how his family wished his great-grandfather had been part of a group of miners who would kill oppressive foremen and leave their bodies on the porch of their houses.
The comment comes almost two months after former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt.
