The Dems would scramble at any opportunity to use VC-25 like shoppers on Black Friday. They are so power-hungry and so big on symbolism that they would've wanted their very first flight to be on VC-25 with a straight callsign AF1, just to flaunt their status and prove, once and for all, that they are the "victors", because a VC-25 with callsign AF1 screams "legit POTUS".

But it's been 2 and a half weeks since "inauguration", and they've denied that small pleasure. I wouldn't have been surprised if the reason why Biden flew nowhere for the cameras for so long is because they had been waiting for VC-25 to be made available for them to make that first flight. But as more and more people started questioning about AF1, their fear of bad optics meant they had to make that C-32 compromise, and to make excuses.
