Biden spotted on Amtrak train hours after announcing White House bid [View all]

A photo of former Vice President Joe Biden sitting casually on an Amtrak train just hours after announcing his 2020 presidential campaign is making the rounds on social media.

Biden, a known Amtrak traveler, can be seen sitting near aides on a train as they headed to New York, according to tweets shared by BBC North America bureau chief Paul Danahar.

Danahar said the image was taken just hours after Biden's campaign released a video online of the former vice president announcing his White House bid, ending months of speculation. Danahar confirmed to The Hill that Biden was on an Amtrak train.

The former vice president and longtime senator, nicknamed "Amtrak Joe," has used the train to commute from Delaware, where he lives, to Washington for decades.
