Here's Why The Same Jeeps Showed Up To All Of Joe Biden's Speeches

President-elect Joe Biden gave his victory speech accepting the United States presidency last night, and after a week of uncertainty, plenty of folks started noticing something: the exact same vehicles appeared in the front row at every one of the drive-in rallies. Here’s why.
The answer is actually really simple: the Biden crew got their hands on Jeep Gladiators, Jeep Wranglers, Ford Rangers, and Chevy Silverados in alternating red, white, and blue colors before decking them out with Biden-Harris décor. They were the same cars because they were reserved for family and friends, Buzzfeed reports.
“They had the clean and perfect look of new rental cars, windows darkened, paint gleaming in the sun,” Buzzfeed writes. “In the style of a tailgate, aides had placed a pair of blue folding chairs in the back of each truck.”
WTOL, a local news station in Toledo, Ohio, verified the same thing.
Basically, that front row of Jeeps and trucks served as a way to reserve that front row for the people close to the Biden campaign. Yes, they were placed there. No, they were not the cars of everyday citizens turning up to watch the speech. Yes, they were props. No, it isn’t a big scandal.
