First Lady Jill Biden to arrive in Tampa on Monday

First lady Jill Biden will arrive in Tampa on Monday, the Biden campaign announced Saturday.

Details about Biden’s event were scant; the campaign wrote in an emailed press release that details of the First Lady’s event would be announced at a later date.

But the visit comes at a delicate time for her husband’s re-election campaign. President Joe Biden has faced a storm of criticism following his disastrous performance in last month’s debate. Since then, the president and his team have struggled to convince supporters that he is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump in 2024.

Jill Biden has long been one of her husband’s closest professional confidants. Amid calls for the president to drop out of the race, the First Lady has remained steadfast in her belief that he should stay in the race.
