Biden goes for a bike ride in Delaware as Congress grills Devon Archer over Hunter’s business deals
WASHINGTON — At least he didn’t fall off this time.
President Biden was back on his bike Monday, pedaling around Rehoboth Beach, Del., as his troubled son’s former business partner Devon Archer answered questions on Capitol Hill.
The 80-year-old president and first lady Jill Biden zipped by reporters shortly after 11 a.m., with the president ignoring a shouted question about Chinese malware.
A small crowd watched from behind a rope line and cheered on the first couple, who wore matching long black pants, black T-shirts and bike helmets.
Three official vehicles led the bike convoy, which also included Secret Service agents on bicycles and in golf carts.
About an hour later, Joe and Jill circled back in front of the crowd, buzzing by once again without answering questions, but this time offering onlookers a smile and a wave.
Last year, Biden took an embarrassing tumble off his bike during another vacation near his Rehoboth Beach home.
After that stumble, which Biden blamed on getting his sneaker stuck in the toe cage on the pedal of his $599 Trek FX hybrid bike, Secret Service agents rushed to help the president to his feet.
Photos of the fall quickly became memes as Americans took to Twitter to mock the aging commander-in-chief.
Meanwhile, about 120 miles away in Washington, the House Oversight Committee took a deposition from Archer about the president’s role in his son’s foreign dealings.
The congressional questioning, which lasted a little more than four hours, came as congressional Republicans moved closer to launching an impeachment inquiry.
Archer confirmed that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings added Hunter to its board in early 2014 because of the Biden “brand” as his dad led US policy concerning the Eastern European country.
He added that Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone more than 20 times during business meetings to promote “the brand” — including at a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li of BHR Partners, a state-backed investment fund co-founded by Hunter in 2013 after he introduced his father to Li during an official trip to Beijing.
Joe Biden is scheduled to remain in Rehoboth Beach until Friday, when he will return to his home in Wilmington to spend the weekend.

Ole Miss Rebels women’s basketball had its first true road game of the season on Thursday night and passed the test with flying colors.
The No. 19 Rebels (2-1) routed Delaware State on Thursday to the tune of an 80-42 final score in Dover. Ole Miss led at the end of every quarter and had four players score more than 10 points in the win.
Starr Jacobs led the way for the Rebels with 18 points, and she was joined in double digits by Madison Scott, Kennedy Todd-Williams and Sira Thienou who all added 13 points apiece. As a team, Ole Miss outshot Delaware State 48.5 percent to 37 percent from the floor, and the Rebels also went 8-of-21 from beyond the arc (38.1 percent).
Ole Miss has now played in three different locations for its first three games of the season: Paris, Oxford and now Dover. Jacobs was asked after the game if she felt that these different environments will help the Rebels throughout the year as they enter conference play and the postseason.
She’s keeping her goals high as Ole Miss’ ultimate prize is the national championship.
“Most definitely,” Jacobs said. “The schedule definitely helps us, and we’re trying to play in Tampa at the end of the day. I feel like every team we play is making us get better.”
The Rebels have some new faces on this year’s team, but squads led by coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin are usually known for defense, but could an offensive night like Thursday lead to more high-scoring performances down the road?
“It’s coming together,” Jacobs said. “We still have a lot of new pieces around, but it’s coming slowly but surely.”
Ole Miss will now return home to face Jackson State on Monday at the SJB Pavilion in Oxford. Tip-off is set for 11 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network+.
Halloran Farkas & Kittila LLP has announced that it has hired M. Jane Brady, a former Superior Court judge and the first woman to serve as Delaware’s attorney general, to bolster…
