Washington: March 11, 2019
The White House announced this afternoon that it had rescinded the ban on making Government planes available to the Democratic leadership.
Government planes can now be freely used by the Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership.
The spokeswoman explained that the special fleet of Boeing 737 Max would be based at Andrews Airforce Base.
A senior official, speaking off the record, said that there was no possibility of extending the availability to announced Democratic Presidential candidates, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.
“We think that the country can continue to hear about the Green New Deal from the safety of Washington” was the explanation.
Although she went on to acknowledge that the policy would be reviewed if any moderate Governors from the mid-west or mountain states entered the race.
