Joe Biden, former United States Vice President joined several ordinary people to ride the train home from Washington DC yesterday–after the Donald Trump inauguration.
Joe Biden is used to trains as he commuted daily to the US capital by rail during his time as senator–and using a train once again to return to his home state of Delaware must have felt great.
The former Democrat senator, who came to be known by his down-to-earth manner and blue-collar upbringing, made the journey joined by his wife Jill and incumbent Delaware senator Tom Carper.
He told CNN “this is the way I wanted to go home, the way I came” after boarding the train at Washington DC’s Union Station.
Mr. Biden took the 1pm Amtrak Acela Express from the US capital, arriving in Wilmington, Delaware around two hours later, where he was greeted by a marching band.
