WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — On his last day as vice president, Joe Biden briefly revived a tradition he had followed faithfully as a U.S. senator for Delaware: He rode the commuter train home from Washington.
Biden and his wife, Jill, hopped aboard an Amtrak train bound for Wilmington after attending the inauguration of President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday.
Marching band members and alumni from Biden’s alma mater, the University of Delaware, joined scores of uniformed Delaware National Guard troops, schoolchildren and hundreds of other well-wishers to greet the Bidens at a celebration on Wilmington’s riverfront, a stone’s throw from the Amtrak station that bears his name.
“We never thought we left home,” a subdued Biden said as he began his speech, quickly becoming emotional.
“When I die, Delaware will be written on my heart,” he added, wiping away tears.

Oh please it's an hour commute. Now he is a multimillionaire and own several homes for lying and stealing.
Kinda cool. Gotta like the guy.
Good to have a decent well respected man back on the shore, I did not vote for Hillary, if he had run for president I would have voted for him. He is a class act if she had listened she could have learned something from him.
1023 are you serious or being facetious?
