President-elect Joe Biden will no longer take the Amtrak to Washington next week to be sworn in as president, two officials familiar with the planning tell CNN, a sudden change that comes amid dramatically heightened security surrounding the inauguration.
A decision was made this week for Biden not to take the 90-minute ride from his namesake station in Wilmington, Delaware, officials said, with at least some of the concerns hinging on his arrival at Union Station in Washington, which is only blocks from the now heavily fortified US Capitol.
Biden previously had instructed his team to keep moving forward with the plans for inauguration, including taking the Amtrak, and to not be deterred by the deadly riot at the US Capitol last week or by complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
But since then, the security concerns have intensified, as more has been learned about the attack on the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, which left five people dead, and the potential threats surrounding the January 20 inauguration. …

He’ll fly China Airlines.
Seriously, I want nothing to happen to him.

Just have Hunter drive him down.

Well, that seems to be the plan anyhow.
Being a fan of trains and the free market, though, and knowing that Biden is neither, I confess that if I were in his place I’d be calling for the return of both the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad for such service (Amtrak runs on the latter’s main line).
As Trump used to say:
Where’s Hunter?
Just to be safe Faux POTUS, Democrat Joe biden will be sworn in and inaugurated in his basement cave in Delaware with four people attending!!! Folks no need to call out for a boycott of the Biden inauguration....very few Americans will be there!!!
Are you in any way related to Willie G.?
Last time he refused to ride the tram was due to the bird flu. This was followed by his handlers calling for a clean up on aisle 6
I wonder if we can pitch in and pay for a kennedy to drive him?
Choo Choo Willie would be very sad about this news.....
Fraud Ferry?
Imposter Express?
Illegitimate Airlines?
Dr. Jill won’t allow Joe Biden to take a train, at least not without a monitor and a viewing tablet that she can watch.//
Just put him in a refrigerator carton and ship him.
Nope. From what I heard of that poster, he was a fan of government-run passenger rail.
The railroads were one of the first entities that the left attacked in the USA, because they were privately owned and successful and thus represented how capitalism works versus their unnatural system. The only ways they could attack them was via government-run infrastructure, particularly the roads and airports, and via taxing them into oblivion.
His Private Car has been converted to a cattle hauler to haul Deplorables to the re-education camp.
