Pool Reports of March 19, 2023

WH travel pool report 1 — call time now 1530

Good Sunday morning from too-cold Delaware, where the call time is now 1530, rather than noon.

As always your Wilmington Weekend Pool will keep you apprised of any developments.

WH travel pool report 2 — call time now 1850

The call time has now been pushed to 1850.

Rest assured that your travel pool is COVID tested and ready to update you on any developments as they happen.

WH travel pool report 3 — Sn route to DANG base

The press bus joined onto the tail of the president's motorcade from its hold location near his home at 1954 and we are en route to the Delaware Air National Guard base in New Castle for the return to Washington.

WH travel pool report 4 — Marine 1 departure

Marine 1, with President Biden aboard, will be lifting off the tarmac from the National Guard base in New Castle at approx 2015.

The nine-minute drive from Wilmington was uneventful. Pool is now aboard an Osprey for the flight back to Andrews.

The president will be flying directly to the South Lawn.

Handing off to the in-town pool for the remainder of the day.

It's been my pleasure providing all the important details from this weekend.
