President Biden to visit California Central Coast with Gov. Newsom
President Joe Biden will visit California’s storm-wracked Central Coast on Thursday to survey recovery efforts with Gov. Gavin Newsom. The White House said Biden and Newsom will meet with local officials, residents affected by the storms and public safety responders in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, where storms have caused severe floods and landslides. Biden is expected to arrive around noon at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, where he will speak with reporters before taking a helicopter to view storm damage from the air on his way to Watsonville Municipal Airport. From there, the president will travel to Capitola to meet with merchants and residents affected by the storms, which damaged the Capitola Wharf and nearby businesses. Biden will also travel to Seacliff State Park, where another pier was damaged by tidal surges.
