President Joe Biden touched down at the Dobbins Air Reserve Base on Air Force One around 3 p.m. ahead of the debate.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Andrew Young, Stacey Abrams and Jason Carter were among those on the ground to greet him in Cobb County. Biden talked with officials who greeted him on the tarmac and left without taking questions from the press.
He then headed to downtown Atlanta to speak with supporters. A crowd gathered behind a barricade near the Truist Plaza building and chanted, “Let’s go, Joe.”
Expect heavy traffic around Atlanta as the president heads through the city. Rolling interstate roadblocks are anticipated along I-75 and I-285, along with closures on South Cobb Drive, Delk Road and surrounding other roads.
