The White House itself is one of the nation\u2019s most beautiful mansions. Additionally, the president can also avail himself of the country retreat at Camp David, which is only a half-hour chopper ride away. He has been there 19 times as president, far less often than he goes to Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>The $11 million receipt for Biden\u2019s Delaware trips is a significant underestimate since it does not tally many miscellaneous costs. These include spending for additional helicopters that accompany him, travel to or from military airports before or after an Air Force One flight, and accommodations for staff who accompany him.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s 16 flights to Delaware from states where he was conducting official business are also not included since travel from those destinations may not have been much more expensive than if Biden had returned to the White House.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As a senator from 1973 to 2009, Biden would take Amtrak from Delaware to Washington, D.C., every day that the Senate was in session \u2014 a habit that earned him the nickname \u201cAmtrak Joe.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He claims this travel included 8,200 round trips and more than 2 million miles. The ticket for much of that time from Washington, Delaware, and back was less than $100.<\/p>\n<p>But as president, Biden\u2019s predilection for spending as much time in Delaware as possible is costing taxpayers well more than $200,000 roundtrip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden\u2019s regular trips to his home state of Delaware have cost American taxpayers at least $11 million since he entered office.
