ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — First Lady Dr. Jill Biden traveled to Florida on Saturday for a series of events, the White House announced Friday.
Biden appeared in South Florida and Central Florida, first hosting a cancer event at 11:45 a.m. with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Broward County. It's part of the Biden Administration's Cancer Moonshot ahead of National Mammography day.
