President Joe Biden returned to the Bay Area for a two-day visit on Thursday evening, arriving at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View around 7:38 p.m.
Air Force One arrived in Mountain View at 7:25 p.m. After disembarking from Air Force One, Biden walked directly off the ramp and boarded a chopper to San Francisco, where he was expected to spend the night. He boarded Marine One around 7:40 p.m., and the helicopter took off around 7:45 p.m. for San Francisco.
The president is in the Bay Area to raise more funds for his reelection campaign, which in March set a record for the single biggest haul for a political event. The fundraisers will take place in San Francisco and Portola Valley with prominent Silicon Valley tech executives such as former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla.
One of the fundraising events will be held at the Portola Valley home owned by Khosla, according to a report by The Almanac, a local news outlet. Tickets are expected to range from $6,000 to $100,000.
Earlier this year, President Biden visited the Bay Area for a two-day visit in February, where he met with donors in San Francisco and attended a fundraising event in Los Altos Hills. The president was also in the Bay Area last November, when he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the famed Filoli estate during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation conference held in San Francisco.
