Watch: Biden Loses Drag Race To Colin Powell's Son Who Is 20 Years Younger

President Joe Biden lost against late Secretary of State Colin Powell's son Michael when they competed in a drag race in an episode that aired Wednesday evening.

Biden, 79, took his 1967 Corvette Stringray with a 350 horsepower V-8 engine for a spin at the James J. Rowley Secret Service training facility in Beltsville, Md. The green convertible was a wedding gift from his father, Joseph Biden Sr.

"I was getting married in August of '67. My dad didn't have a lot of money but he ran the largest Chevrolet dealership in the state for years," Biden said in the drag race episode of "Jay Leno's Garage." "So, there's 75 people outside the dealership. We pull up, they spread. My dad says, 'This is my wedding gift.'"

Despite clocking in around 118 mph, Biden, who was clad in a navy blue Ralph Lauren polo, finished behind Michael, 59, who drove a 2015 Corvette Stingray with 455 horsepower.

"I am in so much trouble," host Jay Leno quipped after Biden crossed the finish line. "Uh oh, here comes the Secret Service."

Powell's victory against Biden comes years after the president won a similar drag race against Michael's late father in an episode that aired on the program's second season in 2016.

Biden's appearance on Jay Leno's Garage is part of an effort to promote the use of electric vehicles, which was a major part of the administration's Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The legislation allocated $369 billion in Energy Security and Climate Change programs and included incentives to encourage the use of electric cars, such as tax credits for the purchase of eco-friendly vehicles.

Biden's drag race episode also comes as several polls show Democrats on the course to lose control of the House of Representatives and Senate to Republicans in the midterm elections. In a USA Today/Suffolk University poll published Thursday, 49% of respondents said they prefer Republicans to be in charge of the House and Senate, compared to 45% who said they want Democrats at the helm.

On a generic ballot published on the FiveThirtyEight website, 45.6% of voters favored Republicans and only 45% said they preferred Democrats.

In addition to polls, the website RealClearPolitics also posted a "Battle For Senate" projection where Republicans are flipping three key states, namely Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.
