"Biden's False Amtrak Story Repeatedly Debunked, Yet Rail Projects Receive $16 Billion Funding Boost"

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden continues to repeat a false story about an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri, whom he claims told him he had traveled more miles on Amtrak trains than on government planes. However, fact-checkers have pointed out that Biden did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until after Negri's death, and his mother had already passed away years before. Despite being given ample time to correct himself, Biden has not addressed the inaccuracies in his story.
