The president of the United States is rarely behind the wheel himself. But when Joe Biden visited General Motors, he couldn’t hold back. He was especially fond of crabs.
Usually led by US President Joe Biden, on Wednesday the car’s acknowledged fan stepped on gas: Biden used the visit to GM’s electric car plant in Detroit to do a lap in an electric Hummer – an angular off-road vehicle with an army prototype cult status for many Americans.

Speaking at the factory, Biden mentioned that his father worked as a car dealer for a while. The president is also the proud owner of a vintage Corvette from 1967, which he said he got as a gift at his first wedding. Biden agreed again on Wednesday to convert the entire federal government fleet to an electric motor. Climate protection is one of the priorities of the President of the United States.
Biden campaigned in Detroit for the recently passed package of laws to modernize infrastructure in the United States. About 550 billion US dollars (476 billion euros) in new infrastructure investment is set to be committed over the next few years. Electric mobility will also be expanded. In total – including previously budgeted funds – the package is worth more than $1 trillion. The legislative package is one of the primary domestic political projects during Biden’s tenure.
