First Lady Jill Biden touched down at the Dobbins Air Reserve Base on Air Force Two around 4:30 p.m. ahead of the debate.
She was greeted by several metro Atlanta leaders, including Mayor Andre Dickens and Jason Carter. Her motorcade then shut down I-75 South from Marietta to Midtown, both directions of I-285 in Cobb County, and I-85 South from Buckhead to Midtown.
She stopped by a Biden Victory Fund event in Atlanta, where she told the crowd of supporters that her husband was ready for the debate.
“Joe is ready to go. He’s prepared. He’s confident,” she said. “You know what a great debater he is.”
Biden thanked the crowd of donors and urged them to continue their efforts as the November election approaches
“We can’t stop now. We can’t get complacent,” she said. “We’ve got to keep working together, working harder than we’ve ever worked before.”
President Joe Biden landed at the Cobb air base on Air Force One around 3 p.m. and headed into Atlanta.
