Who's paying for Biden's trips (e.g., to Pennsylvania) (enemy, fence, speech)

The trips, and the speech later today will prove the assertion, are political and campaign in nature. Shouldn't the DNC be paying the bills? I'll bet we, the taxpayers, are paying though.

We already paid for 6 months of his vacations since he took office, and we're flipping the bill for a $500K fence to be built around his beach home in Delaware. Why wouldn't we pay for this trip too?

We're all paying, with our falling standard of living, surging inflation, the swamp growing, etc.

Here's another good point ... the address he's doing tonight sounds much more political in nature than any other prime time speech. Meaning, it's not about a specific policy issue.

Are the networks really going to give the potato prime time real estate for free for what amounts to a campaign speech?

It's definitely a political speech, but it doesn't qualify as a campaign speech. His purpose is to garner support for his overall agenda.

Biden speaks at 8 PM EST and is being broadcast on all major networks so I think the answer to that question is Yes.

And just in....Following the Speech, his Press Secretary will hold an update to "clarify" his remarks.

2nd trip this week we have paid for Biden to get up and tell anyone who didn’t vote for HIM a semi- Facist and Enemy of his “democracy”

I got it — we are all “Irredeemable Deplorables.
Same song, verse 2 —- DOUBLE DOWN.

My guess the state party. Their internal polling probably has them worried. 3 Pennsylvania cities/towns visited in a week.

So basically, he's going to attempt to polish a turd.

LOL. Hilarious. Suddenly presidential trips matter? Please. What a bunch of nonsense.
