Jill Biden is scheduled to appear Monday afternoon at the American Legion post in Tampa's Seminole Heights neighborhood.
The first lady will be here as part of a three-state swing in battleground states in which the Biden-Harris campaign will announce the launch of the Veterans and Military Families program, according to a news release.
She is expected to speak about 3:15 p.m. at legion Post 111, 6918 N. Florida Ave.
She's also appearing in Georgia and North Carolina, states with high populations of veterans and military families, the release said.
President Joe Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, said the new group will work to engage and mobilize millions of veterans and military families in the U.S. to vote to reelect the president.
“Our veterans and military families are the brave and the bold, who step forward for all of us," she said. "They deserve a commander in chief who respects their bravery and understands personally their sacrifice, not one who denigrates them for being willing to put their lives on the line for our democracy.”
The visit comes just more than a week after Joe Biden's debate with former President Donald Trump, where the 81-year-old president was widely panned for a halting performance in which he struggled to complete sentences or respond to basic questions.
It revived calls from fellow Democrats for him to step down from the reelection campaign over concerns about his cognitive and physicial health and ability to handle the rigors of the office.
In an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Friday, the president called the debate performance “a bad episode” and said he had a "really bad cold." He added that he would not take a cognitive test, saying there was no indication of a “more serious condition."
We'll update this as more details emerge.
