Biden has publicly told the story at least 11 times as president, including twice on Monday at a rail-funding announcement in Delaware.
Biden said in both recitations that when he was vice president, an article was published about how he had flown 1.2 million miles.
In the speech, he specified that the milestone was 1.2 million miles traveled on Air Force planes as vice president.
“I don’t [want to] hear any more about Air Force stuff,” Biden recalled Negri as saying.
Negri’s stepdaughter, Olga Betz, told CNN in 2021 that Negri and Biden were indeed friends.
