Joe Biden flew commercial from Washington to South Carolina amid an hourlong airport delay, greeting passengers and posing for selfies while traveling with Secret Service protection.

- He boarded the commuter jet in the third-row first-class cabin, with members of his security detail spread throughout as he traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, for a South Carolina Democratic Party event.
