President Joe Biden to visit Utah next week

President Joe Biden is set to visit Utah next week as part of a three-state tour of the American southwest.

The White House announced Monday morning that Biden will visit Utah, Arizona and New Mexico from Aug. 7 to Aug. 9. Details on the visit are still forthcoming.

This will be the first presidential visit to Utah since Donald Trump spoke at the Utah State Capitol and signed a proclamation to reduce the size of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments. Biden has since reversed that move by Trump.

Biden came to Salt Lake City as Vice President in 2016 to tour the Huntsman Cancer Institute as part of the Obama administration’s “Cancer Moonshot” initiative seeking a cure for the disease.

In 2021, First Lady Jill Biden made a three-hour visit to Salt Lake City, where she visited a west-side elementary school.

He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect
