Meanwhile President Joe Biden, who has touted the success of the stock market, is still in Delaware Monday morning. He spent the weekend at home after a terrible jobs report sparked a sell off Friday and global recession fears.
"In the afternoon, the President and the First Lady will depart Wilmington, Delaware en route to the White House. The departure from Delaware Air National Guard Base will be covered by the out-of-town pool. The arrival to the South Lawn will be open press," the White House daily schedule states.
