Pool holding.

Travel pool report 7 - church ends, rolling

At 5:56 pm, the president left church, followed by people who could not be identified in the dull, yellow light cast from the open church door. On this this raw, starless Delaware evening, he wasted no time getting back to his limo.

Sartorial note: President Biden wore what through the twilight appeared to be a tan suit.

And the motorcade is rolling.
