President TRUMP was more popular than Biden in Rehoboth, Delaware…

Biden spent time in Rehoboth Beach after the Democratic National Convention and made his first trip back this weekend as president-elect.
"I think he's earned, certainly, a couple of days off," said Jen Psaki, an adviser to Biden's transition team.
He bought the beach house after leaving the vice presidency, aided by an $8 million, multibook deal that he and his wife, Jill, signed.
"Throughout our careers, Jill and I have dreamed of being able to buy a place at the beach at home where we can bring the whole family," Biden said in a statement upon buying the home. "We feel very lucky that we're now able to make that happen."
As popular as Biden is locally, however, not everyone is a fan. At T-Shirt World, employee Sydney Doel said the few Biden shirts the store stocked weren't big sellers. President Donald Trump, though, had his own section, with more than half a dozen shirts, assorted hats and visors and keepsakes that ranged from bottle openers to boxer shorts. Red Trump pajama bottoms had sold out.
Doel said politely that she hoped to one day spot Biden around town, but her face lit up when asked what would happen if Trump bought a house in Rehoboth Beach. She and co-worker agreed that the rural areas away from the beach are full "of country-loving people."
"If you ride out a bit, you see a lot more Trump signs," Doel said. "I think having Trump here, it would be more exciting for a lot of people.
