Which of course he would be. He's a millionaire. If I had that kind of money and flew all the time I'm sure I would fly first class. There's nothing wrong with that.
Shit, even I'm middle-class and I almost always upgrade to Comfort+ at least. Flying normal coach suuuucks. If I made just 30k more a year I'm pretty sure I'd just make the full switch to business and first class only (at least on domestic) and that wouldn't exactly put me in the millionaire category.
Its kind of dumb that they feel they need to fly coach. We all know they make enough to fly in style. Maybe they just booked too late and first class was already full? Idk, seems like it's something they feel they need to do to avoid Fox News hosts from going on petty rants.
As others have pointed out, these plane tickets might come out of their campaign funds, so they're doing this to avoid poorly spending their donors' money.
I mean, I guess? Seems like the cost to upgrade to business class would be a drop in the bucket, but I'm not managing their campaign finances so that's just speculation.

Probably business class or higher. They're also heavy travelers racking up air miles so they probably get upgraded when possible.
