I would not mind a little “honest graft” around Amtrak governance if the upshot was that a powerful Delaware political family was acting to deliver high-quality intercity rail service that Wilmington needs. But what they delivered was ... Amtrak. — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond Hunter antics (he was a GW Bush appointee to the board) a serious problem that I have with Joe Biden is he’s clearly the politician most personally identified with Amtrak over the years and Amtrak is a disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

The story everyone is missing here with Hunter Biden is that he was also on the board of Amtrak in the 2000s. How on earth did that happen

The new CEO they brought in from Delta appears to be addressing the most absurd problems with Amtrak (like losing money on food sales!!) but they’re still nowhere on basic railroad operation stuff like “how do yo board a train?” — PolitiTweet.org
