Pool Reports of May 30, 2024

Travel Pool Report 1/Rolling

The motorcade was rolling from near President Biden's Wilmington home at 7:28.

Travel Pool Report 2/Church Arrival

The motorcade arrived at the nearby St Joseph Catholic Church at 7:34.

Today is the ninth anniversary of the death of Biden's son Beau, who is buried in the church's cemetery.

The pool could see President Biden and first lady Jill Biden enter the church. There appeared to be another group of family members enter after but we aren't sure yet who they are. I will send an update when those details become clear.

Travel Pool Report 3/Hunter Biden

At 8:08 the Biden family exited the church. First son Hunter Biden and most of President Biden's grandchildren were among the group.

Please consult photographs to verify other members of the group. I have requested from the White House a list.

We think grandchildren Natalie, Hunter, Maisy, possibly Naomi and her husband Peter, and young Beau were among the group. First daughter Ashley and first sister Valerie also appeared to be there.

Travel Pool Report 4/Rolling Again

The motorcade was rolling again at 8:26. We believe the family visited Beau Biden's grave, but we did not actually see it happen.

As an addendum to my prior pool report, we now think first granddaughter Finnegan was present, but not Maisy. We have not been provided an official list, so please treat the names with caution and check photos or pool video.

Travel Pool Report 6/DANG

The motorcade reached the airport of the Delaware Air National Guard at 9:03.

President Biden entered Marine One at 9:05 while the pool van was still rolling, so there was no opportunity for Q&A. It's also unclear who else may have joined him aboard the helicopter.

Marine One was wheels up at 9:11.

Also, at the war memorial fellow poolers recorded Biden telling former state Sen. Nancy Cook, "You're the reason I'm president" and something hardly audible that seemed to be about dropping out in the '60s. Please treat the second part with caution and verify before using.

Travel Pool Report 7/Travel Group

The White House shares the following:

Traveling with the President and the First Lady via motorcade en route to Delaware Air National Guard Base:

Anthony Bernal, Assistant to the President & Senior Advisor to the First Lady
Marc Gustafson, Special Assistant to the President & Senior Director for the White House Situation Room

Hello all,
