Where will Biden stop in Palm Beach County?
Biden is set to depart Joint Base Andrews in Maryland at 10:05 a.m., arriving at 12:55 p.m. at Palm Beach International Airport, in West Palm Beach.
Then his motorcade will travel to Jupiter, getting there around 2 p.m. for a campaign reception.

Biden does not plan to stay in Jupiter long. He is expected to be back at the Palm Beach airport before 3:30 p.m. His motorcade could travel south on State Road A1A and I-95 or it could go west on West Indiantown Road before heading south on I-95.
Where will Biden stop in Miami-Dade County?
Biden is set to arrive at 4 p.m. at Miami International Airport, at the start of rush hour.
Around 6:45 p.m., he will attend a campaign reception somewhere in the Miami area.
Neither the White House nor the Biden campaign has shared the exact location of the fundraiser. But Politico got a hold of an invite that said it was at the home of Democratic National Committee chairman and Coral Gables attorney Chris Korge.

A quick search of Miami-Dade property records under Korge’s name shows he owns several condos in downtown Coral Gables and owns a home in Pinecrest.
The motorcade could take any highway from MIA, from I-95 south to U.S. 1, or the Dolphin Expressway (State Road 836) west to the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826) south to U.S. 1. and into Pinecrest.
At 8:05 p.m., Biden is expected to depart from MIA to Joint Base Andrews.
