FILE – In this Jan. 22, 2105 file photo, Vice President Joe Biden speaks in Washington. By this time eight years ago, Joe Biden had declared his candidacy for president, launched a website, committed and cleaned up after his first campaign gaffe _ a set of comments about then-Sen. Barack Obama that rubbed some the wrong way. This time around, even while saying it’s possible he’ll run again, Biden’s name isn’t really in the 2016 mix. As Hillary Rodham Clinton builds an elaborate campaign-in-waiting, and a few other Democrats nibble around the edges, there are few signs the vice president is taking steps toward mounting a third bid for the top job at the White House.

TDOT spokeswoman Jennifer Flynn said the U.S. Secret Service ordered all the cameras turned off from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for security purposes.
The White House has said Vice President Joe Biden will attend the service, along with both Tennessee’s U.S. senators; U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, Gov. Bill Haslam and Mayor Andy Berke.
Flynn said the camera feeds that show views of Chattanooga’s interstates and state highways won’t be accessible to the media or the public during this time.
