TAMPA, Fla. — First lady Jill Biden visited Tampa on Monday afternoon to launch a campaign organizing initiative for veterans and military families.
Biden planned stops in North Carolina, Georgia and Florida to deliver remarks at a couple of events. In a news release, the Veterans and Military Families for Biden-Harris initiative is a national outreach program that will "engage and mobilize millions of veterans and military families across the country through battleground state events, relational organizing and online engagement."
She is visiting those three states since they have high populations of veterans and military families, according to the release.
In the future, the Biden-Harris campaign will hold additional events in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
"The Veterans and Military Families for Biden-Harris organizing program will help inform and mobilize the community to reelect Joe Biden to continue delivering for our troops and their families," campaign officials said.
Biden's stop in Tampa and other states is part of a campaign effort to shore up support for President Joe Biden in the wake of his debate performance and Democrats' concerns the 81-year-old won't be able to defeat former President Donald Trump in the presidential election, according to The Associated Press.
