President Joe Biden is slated to touch down in Seattle this Friday for a campaign fundraising event, with additional engagements potentially lined up by the White House. As reported by FOX 13 Seattle, Biden's visit is primarily for a campaign event that will take place on May 10.

During his stay, locals can expect high traffic congestion due to the presidential visit echoing his previous trip back in April 2022 for Earth Day. According to information from KIRO 7, his last stay in Seattle marked a significant occasion as he attended events in both Seattle and Portland.

Further details on Biden's itinerary are yet to be released by the White House. It was revealed by KOMO News that his trip will cover "campaign receptions" on both Friday and Saturday, following a brief visit to San Francisco.

The President's presence in Seattle is not just for shaking hands and kissing babies but setting the stage for the upcoming political strife as the election season heats up. The back-to-back receptions indicate a rigorous effort to drum up substantial financial and popular support, encapsulating the ceaseless machinery that fuels American politics.
