The White House did not comment.
Biden and Democrats are gearing up an expected reelection campaign, including by dispatching Vice President Kamala Harris to fundraisers of her own in her home state. On Friday, she headlined a midday event in the San Francisco suburb of Hillsborough at the home of longtime fundraiser Stefanie Roumeliotes and her husband, John Costouros.
Despite feeling no pressure to formally announce his re-election campaign, Biden has already held a handful of fundraisers out east to benefit the Democratic National Committee. Earlier this year, he gave a speech to DNC members in Philadelphia that aides described as a soft launch of sorts.
The president’s latest visit west is expected to include a mix of political and official events. Last year, he joined a stampede of Democrats who got behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, with Harris making several visits on behalf of Bass’ campaign and swearing her in.
Biden returned in mid-January to Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties to visit with communities and first responders impacted by the major winter storms.
