This brief video is worth a look on many levels:
The adoring, smiling lemi-get-my-picture-took-next-to-our-gorgeous-VP behaviour of middle American (and Latino) women - VERY disturbing but it's a given of populist politics and explains how power gets away scot-free with so much;
Biden's half-hearted attempt to engage followed by stony-faced retreat into his cordon of minders.
This wasn't in the script - Damn-it!
