First State

Instead, Trump claimed that the U.S. subsidizes Canada's defense and that the "only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State."

President Biden, meanwhile, left Friday for his beach vacation in Delaware, according to multiple news reports, such as this local update from the First State:

“The great privilege of my life has been the opportunity to serve the people of the First State and of the United States in so many different roles for so many years,” he said.

He officially endorsed Ms. Rochester, one of the First State’s longtime Democratic politicians and a former intern for Mr. Carper.

There have also been questions raised over White House transparency while the president is in Delaware, including how much business, if any, is conducted in The First State.
