But the Secret Service made a brief exception for the former host ofThe Tonight Show.

“We took President Biden’s Corvette, went down to the secret service training center and we were burning rubber,” he added. “He was hilarious. And the secret service just goes, Slow down, slow down!”

In August, Biden told reporters he enjoyed taping the CNBC show with Leno.

“It was really good. It was even more fun driving my old Corvette,” he said, perBloomberg, of filming at James J. Rowley Training Center in Beltsville, Maryland.

“We talked about how electric cars are going to change the nature of our environment in the United States,” he continued.

The President added that he was also able to drive a Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck during the segment, adding, “That was a fast SOB.”
