President Joe Biden will be flying down to South Florida just days shy of Election Day with a busy schedule in front of him as he is slated to headline a Democratic Party rally and stump for gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist at a fundraising event.

On Nov. 1, Biden will be participating in a rally for the Democratic National Committee, the White House said. It has yet to be announced when or where the rally will take place.

Separate from the rally, Crist’s campaign is holding a private fundraiser in Fort Lauderdale on the same day, which Biden will headline alongside Crist. It will be the third time Biden has visited Florida since inauguration, but the first to stump for a Democratic candidate.
