Joe Biden returned to Delaware on Friday, May 30, to deliver remarks at a Memorial Day ceremony held near New Castle — the county where he built his political career across more than five decades.
The News Journal reported the appearance. Details about the specific venue, the organizing group, or the full text of his remarks weren’t immediately available.
Biden, who represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 until 2009 and later served as the 47th Vice President before winning the presidency in 2020, has maintained ties to the state since leaving the White House in January 2025. New Castle County is home to his longtime residence in Wilmington.
Memorial Day ceremonies across Delaware drew crowds Friday — the federal holiday set aside to honor military personnel who died in service. Whether Biden’s appearance was part of a larger organized program or a smaller private event wasn’t clear from the initial report.
The News Journal hadn’t published additional details about the ceremony as of Friday afternoon.
