President Biden traveled to Florida in January to attend some fundraisers as part of his re-election campaign, according to the Associated Press. Those events were held in Jupiter and Miami.

The 2024 election is expected to be a rematch between President Biden and former president Donald Trump, who is the presumptive Republican presidential candidate. Both have secured enough delegates to become the nominees for their respective parties.

Biden visited Florida in September 2023 to survey the damage in the Big Bend region after Hurricane Idalia made landfall as a category 3 hurricane in August. Twelve people were killed by the storm, according to the National Hurricane Center. The damage was estimated to be $3.6 billion, according to the NHC's report.
