'Welcome to the station that should be named after me, VP Biden

Vice President Joe Biden opened his remarks at a Union Station reception on Thursday with something of a joke.

"Welcome to the station that should be named after me," he said.

Biden went on to explain that he commuted to the station by train from his home in Delaware for the 36 years he was in the Senate, racking up thousands of round trips.

"I spent more time here than I did in the Senate, just going back and forth," he said. "So hopefully you enjoy the station."
