“It was really good,” Biden told reporters. “It was even more fun driving my old Corvette.”

This stop or adventure is part of Biden’s strategy to ramp up public appearances and campaign events ahead of November’s midterm elections, reports :

Biden is coming off a series of legislative and policy victories, including signing the Inflation Reduction Act, bipartisan measures to boost domestic semiconductor production and improve gun safety, and the release of his long-awaited plan to aid student-loan borrowers.

The president’s popularity is also improving, according to the latest Gallup poll, which found that his approval rating jumped six percentage points in August to 44 percent.

This wasn’t the President’s first rodeo on Leno’s show. He’d previously appeared back in 2016 when he was Barack Obama’s Vice President.
