Pool Reports of December 18, 2024

Travel Pool Report #1 — Checking in

Greetings from a very cold morning in Wilmington Delaware.

The pool has been swept and we are now waiting in front of POTUS’s house to join the motorcade.

POTUS today will be attending a memorial service commemorating the 52nd anniversary of the death of his first wife and daughter in a traffic accident.

Travel Pool Report #2 — Rolling

The motorcade is rolling to the service at 7:57.

Your pooler has not laid eyes on POTUS.

Travel Pool Report #3 — Arrival at Church

The motorcade arrived at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Catholic Church at 8:01.

POTUS and FLOTUS, both dressed in black entered the church 8:03. They were accompanied by Hunter Biden, his wife Melissa and baby Beau.

POTUS and FLOTUS stopped before entering the church and shook hands and talked with a tall bearded gentleman. POTUS put his hand on the man’s shoulder. Your pooler has learned that this man is a church member.

Per White House:

The President, the First Lady, and their family are attending a private memorial mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Church.

Today is the anniversary of the death of President Biden’s first wife Neilia Hunter Biden and their one-year-old daughter Naomi.

Travel Pool Report #4 — Mass ended

POTUS and FLOTUS, who was holding the hand of baby Beau, exited the church at 8:32 and walked to the area behind the church where there is a cemetery.

Travel Pool Report #5 — leaving the church

The motorcade is rolling away from the church at 8:37. Your pooler did not lay eyes on POTUS.

Travel Pool Report #6 — Now rolling

The motorcade is now rolling at 8:48.

An earlier pool report that said we were rolling was incorrect as the pool van and other vehicles simply drove down a road to be better position to connect to the motorcade.

Your pooler regrets the mixup. And in both circumstances your pooler did not lay eyes on POTUS.

Travel Pool Report #7 — Arrival at residence/Lunch lid

The motorcade dropped POTUS off at his house at 8:53.

We have a lunch lid until 3 pm.

Travel Pool Report #8 -- Lid

We have a travel lid in Wilmington at 2:36. Enjoy the rest of your day
