1:17Now PlayingJoe Biden is making his return to the Washington area on the eve of his inauguration as the nation’s 46th president.
Biden touched down at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Tuesday afternoon, taking a brief flight from his home state of Delaware down to the District of Columbia.
In contrast to his predecessor, Biden flew on a chartered plane. President Donald Trump arrived at the base in 2017 on a government plane.
Biden’s decision to fly came as a response to growing security concerns surrounding his inauguration. The Democrat had originally planned to travel to Washington by Amtrak, which he rode to and from Washington throughout his Senate career, but the option was scrapped amid threats of violence against the president-elect.
Biden is making a sober entrance to the nation's capital, ready to assume power as the nation reels from the coronavirus pandemic and soaring unemployment.
There's also serious concern about whether more violence could be in the offing as he prepares to take the oath of office on Wednesday.
