Video shows car in Pennsylvania being washed away during flooding

A video has emerged of a car being washed away down a street in Reading, Pennsylvania, as severe flooding impacted the region over the weekend. 

The National Weather Service reports Monday that the city 60 miles west of Philadelphia has received 7.17 inches of rain over the last 24 hours. 

"I’m just watching my car just swim away!" a man’s voice could be heard saying as a blue sedan drifts down a heavily flooded road. 

The vehicle then collides into a bulldozer.

"There goes your bumper," another voice says. 

Police told Fox29 Philadelphia that they were fielding calls for water rescues near Quakertown, which is east of Reading. 

A water rescue also unfolded in nearby Douglass Township, the station added. 

In Reading, at least 40 people were displaced by flooding and they are being assisted by the Red Cross, according to CBS News Philadelphia. 

In New York, at least one person was killed in extreme flooding in the Hudson Valley, where the weather swamped roadways and forced road closures Sunday night. 

Rescue teams in the Hudson Valley attempted to recover the body of a woman in her 30s who drowned after she was swept away while trying to evacuate her home, from which two other people escaped, according to The Associated Press.

Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said the force of the flash flooding dislodged boulders that crashed into the woman’s house and damaged part of its wall. 

"Her house was completely surrounded by water," he said. "She was trying to get through [the flooding] with her dog and she was overwhelmed by tidal-wave type waves." 

The storm, which delivered up to 8 inches of rain to that area, has already caused tens of millions of dollars in damage, officials said. 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency Sunday for Orange County before later extending it to Ontario County in western New York. 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he is "closely monitoring the devastating flash flooding in New York." 

"Thank you to our brave Hudson Valley first responders working tirelessly to keep communities safe," he wrote in a tweet. "Please stay safe and follow emergency guidance."

Senate Dems huddle on how Biden could be hurt by a third-party candidate

Senate Democrat staffers will be briefed this month by two groups that are looking to protect President Biden from a third-party presidential run that could sap energy from Democrats.

Liberal advocacy groups MoveOn and Third Way will meet with the chiefs of staff to Democratic senators on July 27 to discuss the risks of a potentially well-funded third-party presidential run, Third Way confirmed to Fox News Digital. The story was first reported Monday by Politico.

WH AIDES CLAIM BIDEN PRONE TO OUTBURSTS, ‘ANGRY INTERROGATIONS’ BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: ‘GET THE F—K OUT’

Politico reported that a spokesperson for MoveOn said the group is working with several Democrat groups to "stop No Labels from running a third-party ticket."

A Democratic Senate staffer familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that the chief of staff for each Democratic senator was invited.

The third-party candidate push is spearheaded by centrist group No Labels, which has touted a $70 million plan to back a "unity" candidate. The group has established previous success and influence in Congress, where it founded the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. But its push for a third-party candidate in 2024 has led to pushback from Democrats in the caucus.

"No Labels is wasting time, energy and money on a bizarre effort that confuses and divides voters, and has one obvious outcome – re-electing Donald Trump as president," Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., said in May.

BIDEN’S HISTORY OF BERATING, SCOLDING AND INSULTING REPORTERS, FROM ‘STUPID SON OF A B----’ TO ‘GET EDUCATED’

Speculations of a possible third-party presidential run have focused on Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who has established himself as a leading moderate Democrat and is up for a tough re-election bid in 2024. Manchin has repeatedly declined to rule out a presidential run.

A Manchin staffer told Fox News Digital his chief of staff plans to attend the meeting with MoveOn and Third Way if his schedule permits.

The possibility of a well-funded third-party challenger to Biden's re-election campaign comes amid a wave of concerning polls for the president. Biden had a 44% approval rate and 55% disapproval rate in Fox News' June poll.

Biden faces a primary challenge from Robert Kennedy, Jr., who several polls show with support in the 10-20% range.
