"It sounds pretty terrible for the environment to fly a short distance to go vote," said Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. "But secondly, he's been pushing mail in ballots for the last two years and now he's gonna go vote in person. Seems a little hypocritical."
Other lawmakers questioned why Biden opted not to pay for the cost of the travel himself. He was also in Delaware over the weekend and returned to Washington, D.C., on Sunday, two days before he returned to the state to vote in-person.
