JUST IN: President Biden is coming to Arlington on Monday

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are scheduled to cross the river into Arlington next week.

“On Monday, December 12, as part of the First Lady’s Joining Forces initiative, the President and the First Lady will travel to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia to participate in a United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots sorting event, in celebration of Toys for Tots’ 75th Anniversary,” the White House announced Friday afternoon.

A time for the event was not given.

That the presidential visit is taking place at the military base should limit traffic impacts for local residents, but the presidential motorcade could still result in rolling closures on certain roads and bridges.

Biden previously traveled to Arlington for this year’s 9/11 remembrance at the Pentagon. Prior to that he campaigned for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in Pentagon City in October 2021.
