WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Joe Biden will travel to Palm Beach and Miami areas on Tuesday to participate in two "campaign receptions," the White House announced. The Federation Aviation Administration is listing the stop first at Palm Beach International Airport.

In a short media release Friday, the White House said "additional details to follow."

Locations and times were not noted.

On Saturday, the FAA listed restrictions at Palm Beach International Airport from a total of 11:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. within 10 nautical miles and 11:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for 30 nautical miles among six airspace areas.

On Sunday, the FAA listed restrictions from 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Miami International Airport.

WPTV Capitol bureau reporter Forrest Saunders said state party officials didn't have additional details.

Palm Beach is the home of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

Biden was last in South Florida before the November 2022 midterm elections.

The president spoke at a rally for gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist and U.S. Senate candidate Val Demings in Miami-Dade County. He also spoke to about 100 seniors in Hallandale.

In 2016 as vice president, he campaigned in Palm Beach Gardens for Hillary Clinton for president.

First lady Jill Biden was scheduled to speak Saturday afternoon at a fundraiser for the Biden Victory Fund in Palm Harbor, west of Tampa, the White House announced Friday.

In June 2022, Jill Biden spoke in Palm Springs at FoundCare as she promoted the Cancer Moonshot initiative.

Nikki Haley was scheduled to be in Palm Beach on Wednesday for a donor fundraiser for her presidential campaign. The next primary is in her home state of South Carolina, where she was governor.

Haley is the only rival to Trump for the Republican nomination after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out seven days ago.

Palm Beach County is heavily Democrat with 326,387 registered voters compared with 268,943 Republicans and 263,064 other, according to the Supervisor of Elections.
