Former President Joe Biden has chosen his home state of Delaware to build his presidential library — but his new board has opted against setting a budget as the former prez hunts for people willing to donate to the project.
The Joe and Jill Biden Foundation tapped a 13-member board of close confidants and former officials, including former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and longtime adviser Steve Ricchetti, to oversee the project and raise funds to preserve the 82-year-old Democrat’s four years as president.
But Biden’s decision comes as construction of former President Barack Obama’s $850 million library and museum has sparked widespread backlash, delays and legal challenges in Chicago.
“There’s certainly folks — folks who may have been not thinking about those kinds of issues who are starting to think about them,” said Democratic fundraiser Rufus Gifford, named chairman of the library board.
“That being said … we’re not going to create a budget, we’re not going to set a goal for ourselves that we don’t believe we can hit.”
The price tag for presidential libraries has soared over the years — and a source familiar with the preliminary plans said the flagship facility could cost several hundred million dollars, CNN reported.

So rustic!
“The 46th president’s team is looking to construct an immersive museum of his first term, with the space also serving as a center for education, leadership, and policy gatherings.”
‘First’ term?
Maybe “Dr” Jill will have old Joe mummified, like Lenin, and put him on display at the library so she can profit by charging an extra admission to view his corpse.
It’s both fitting and hilarious that old Slow Joe Biden is never going to see his libary. In fact, it may never be built.
Never “feel sorry” for a sociopathic criminal fraud.
The one with Biden putting his hand on the trooper’s knee is like a Caravaggio with every character wearing a perfect expression.
I guess I should have used the word “almost” instead of “kinda”. Thanks for the reality check.
Pedo Joe certainly got away with a lot, while other Democrats stood around and pretended that everything was normal. If he behaved that way in public, just think what he must have done in private. Well, we know some of it, based on what his daughter said in her diary.
“For all of the contempt I hold for the Biden family, I will never ever step foot in that Presidential Library.”
Idolizing politicians is akin to believing that the pole dancing stripper actually likes you.
It will be in the downstairs toilet of the Wilmington Amtrak station.
