White House signals heavy campaign travel for Biden

Source: The Hill

03/25/24 6:00 AM ET


The White House has been adding more jobs to their scheduling and advance team, a sign that President Biden is ramping up for a robust travel schedule in the coming months as he readies for a fierce reelection battle against former President Donald Trump

Sources familiar with internal dynamics at the White House tell The Hill there have been additional job openings available, creating a larger advance team for the White House than in previous years.

The White House is directing its limited headcount, particularly prized during an election year, to the advance office, signaling travel as a priority. “This is a sign of all systems go,” said one source familiar with the thinking of Biden and his team. “They’re preparing for what’s ahead and there’s going to be a lot of travel, a lot of messaging events in the near future.”

A White House official confirmed that several positions would be added to the team but would not provide an exact number. But the official said it’s a small percentage of the overall team at the White House.

The more Joe gets out there and tells Americans all he's done in the past 4 years, the more votes he'll get.

Gee, I wonder what the republican candidate is doing today? 🤔

That will determine when the start of his ny criminal trial for election interference will start.

He may need another ride home though if James arrests his plane.

The more he talks about the economy, the better. I’m telling you. I’ve been on vacation for 10 days. I have never seen airports, airplanes, hotels, restaurants and cruise ships so full. Biden needs to point out that regular people have the money to travel and do other fun things. Concerts are sold out. Sports games are packed. Americans are spending money because they understand the Biden economy is working! Keep spreading that word, Mr.President.

People are still dying from it, but in numbers nowhere near where they were in 2020.

People just don't care about it anymore.

From what I have experienced, very few people wore masks anywhere. I don’t think it’s people not caring,, it’s just they are more confident in the vaccines and the science to treat this disease. Maybe those whose immune systems are severely compromised just don’t travel. That may be the case.
