White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday defended President Biden taking a whirlwind trip to Delaware to vote in-person in the state’s primary.

“The president has a very heavy schedule. He’s the president of the United States. It worked out best for him to vote yesterday, to vote on Tuesday,” Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Detroit. “He thought it was important to exercise his constitutional right to vote, as I just mentioned, and set an example by showing the importance of voti

Joe has a very heavy schedule??? Heavy diaper is more like it.

[Ann Archy]

Pssst...Pedo Joe.....Delaware has ABSENTEE voting!! Or did you have to go get something SECRET done??

[Sacajaweau]

It’s a friggin’ primary besides. He forgot to send in the mail in...

[Jonny7797]

Bout the only thing Joe has is a very heavy vacation schedule

Well he has a heavy carbon footprint. We commoners aren’t allowed to use energy, but King Brandon can fly hither and yon and that somehow combats global warming. Only upside: maybe he’ll trip on the stairs.

I know that she only started a short time ago, but is there any doubt that in Karine Jean-Pierre we are witnessing the worst Press Secretary of all time? What a mess.

I’m actually good with this. Every elected official whose state had a primary should go home and vote. And vote in person.

"He’s the president of the United States."

[Spok]

As a Democrat, couldn’t Brandon find somebody in Delaware to cast a couple of dozen votes for him?

[gitmo]

Yes, Delaware has absentee voting, but it’s less expensive for Biden to fly Air Force One than to mail his ballot.

[Nifster]

He didn’t want to use mail in voting

[adorno]

That’s a very heavy carbon-footprint vote. The heaviest one is yet to come in November.

[Vaduz]

Hunter must have had another drop off ready.

[Sirius Lee]

If he can vote in person, then everybody can. No need for mail in ballots.

[glorgau]

Did they track the carbon footprint for this?

[depressed in 06]

How many went with Sniffer?

[Midwesterner53]

Not one race on the Democratic ballot had opposition. Brandon just wasted more money when he could have used a helicopter or even his favorite Amtrak.

[Myrddin]

Stupid. I was sent out of town to Florida before I could vote or get my absentee ballot. My wife sent it to me FedEx. I voted, signed, sealed and sent it FedEx home. Biden could have made that arrangement or done it in person on one of his multiple visits to Delaware. He has spent 41% of his term hiding at home in Delaware.
