U.S. President Joe Biden to Visit Cincinnati Next Week for CNN Town Hall [View all]

Cincinnati is rolling out the welcome mat for another member of the White House.

U.S. President Joe Biden will be in Cincinnati on July 21 for a town hall hosted by CNN. The event is expected to be one hour long and will cover "a wide range of issues facing the nation ranging from COVID-19 to the economy," the network said Tuesday.

CNN anchor Don Lemon will moderate, and a limited number of locals will be invited. An event location has not been disclosed.

In its story about the upcoming town hall, CNN notes that U.S. Senator Rob Portman is from Cincinnati. Portman, a Republican who had signed a compromise of Democrat Biden's $580 billion infrastructure deal in June, will vacate his Senate seat in 2022. Several people, including the very conservative, Trump-supporting Josh Mandel, have announced their candidacy. Even right-wing talk show host Geraldo Rivera has entertained becoming an Ohio Senator.
