walked up to greet Plant Manager Donald DeKeyser. (cq)

"I welcomed him and he told me a story about how his father was
involved with the Newark Assembly plant, which used to make the Dodge
Durango and Chrysler Aspen. It was very brief," DeKeyser said.

About a dozen selected employees were at the gate entrance waiting for
VPOTUS. Biden talked to the crowd, shouting "Hey how are you guys."

More workers then started streaming out of the plant at the end of a
2:30 p.m. shift change. Dozens posed for photographs with VPOTUS.

Plant physician Dr. Sue Parkins was among those meeting VPOTUS.
"I may need your help," Biden said to Dr. Parkins, who wore a long
white doctor's coat.
Later Dr. Parkins said: "He said 'I may need your help' and I said
that we need his, I just told him that we are greatful for what he has
done for us."

The press pool was exited out at 2:38 p.m. while VPOTUS remained at
the site, still shaking hands.
