Joe Biden reveals why he is 'not able to go out' anymore and who is stopping him
President Joe Biden on Monday complained about tightened Secret Service restrictions that are keeping him away from voters.
'I'm not able to go out into crowds anymore, the Secret Service doesn't let me,' he told reporters at the White House.
'They said it's too dangerous. No one gets to go out,' he noted.
Biden was just back from Pittsburgh, where he held his first campaign event with Kamala Harris since she replaced him as the Democratic presidential nominee.

After the speeches, neither Biden nor Harris worked the rope line, which is when a candidate walks along the steel barriers holding back the crowd to shake hands, talk to voters and take selfies.
Biden, in particular, enjoys working the line. He can spend up to an hour on it after a speech, happily chatting away and posing for pictures.
When a president works a rope line, there is typically a few agents in front of him hand searching the waiting crowd and an agent at the president's back to pull him if there is any security issue.
All those who attend a presidential event go through TSA-style security before entry.
Biden's complaint comes after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa., last month.
The Secret Service declined to comment on the matter.
'Out of concern for operational integrity, we are not able to comment further on the protective protocols used for the President,' spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told DailyMail.com.
Biden did get some one-on-one voter time. After his speech, he chatted with folks positioned on the stage behind him during his remarks. He and Harris also had a private meet-and-greet with a small group of union members ahead of their larger rally.

The assassination attempt on Trump on July 13 sent shockwaves around the nation and led to questions about how it happened. The Secret Service fell under greater scrutiny. The FBI and House Republicans launched investigations.
Photos and video analyzed after the attempt showed shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get astonishingly close to the stage where the former president was speaking.
The rooftop from where Crooks fired the shots was just outside the security perimeter of Trump's campaign rally.
The attack grazed Trump's ear, killed a spectator and seriously wounded two other people at the rally.
The Secret Service has made major changes after attempts on presidents.
After the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, the agency worked at enhancing presidential security.
This included introducing stricter screening procedures, upgrading vehicle security with advanced technologies, and intensifying training programs to improve response capabilities and situational awareness.
Reagan was coming out of the Washington Hilton hotel when John Hinckley Jr. opened fire from a crowd of onlookers just under 15 feet away from the then-president.
Hinckley got off six shots before Secret Service officers tackled him. The last shot ricocheted off a limo and into Reagan.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford in 1975, also prompted changes.
The Secret Service moved to include more direct coordination with local police, heightened visibility at public events, and improved intelligence sharing to identify potential threats.
Kennedy was shot in Dallas while riding in a convertible with the top down. In the aftermath, presidents were no longer allowed to sit in open vehicles but wave to onlookers through the thick glass of a heavily armored limousine nicknamed 'the beast.'

In the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt, Kimberly Cheatle resigned as the agency's director and five agents were put on administrative leave.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe pledged to regain the public trust after the incident.
He said that the shooting amounted to a 'failure on multiple levels,' including a failure of imagination and a 'failure to challenge our assumptions.'
'And I can assure you,' Rowe added, 'that we're not going to make that mistake again.'
