The stops will mark the first public events outside of the Washington, D.C. area for everyone except the president, who has already made trips to Texas and Michigan during his first days in office.
Mr. Biden delivered his first prime-time address on Thursday night, paying tribute to the over 500,000 American lives losts to the COVID-19 virus in the year since the World Health Organization named the deadly virus a pandemic. Mr. Biden also announced the start of a nationwide public relations tour to laude his first major legislative achievement, signing the American Rescue Plan into law.
"In the coming weeks and months I'll be traveling along with the First Lady, the Vice President, the Second Gentleman and members of my cabinet to speak directly to you. To tell you the truth about how the American Rescue Plan meets the moment," Mr. Biden said.
