Biden, Cabinet officials hitting the post-State of the Union road

President Biden will embark on a travel blitz with campaign events in five battleground states in less than a week to capitalize on his post-State of the Union momentum.

Mr. Biden kicks off trips Friday, visiting a middle school in a suburban Philadelphia county that has moved from solid GOP territory to increasingly Democrat. It marks his 20th visit to the Philadelphia region since taking office.

On Saturday, the president will head to Georgia for a rally on the same weekend that former President Donald Trump is there. Mr. Biden won the state in 2020 by a tight margin and will be critical to his reelection efforts.

Next week, Mr. Biden will travel to New Hampshire to deliver remarks on his effort to lower Americans’ costs. In the middle of the week, he will travel to Michigan and Wisconsin. The White House has not offered details about either trip.

The White House has also planned more than two dozen trips in March by Cabinet officials and other aides to the president to coincide with his campaign stops.

“In the weeks following his State of the Union address, the president’s Cabinet and senior administration officials will continue fanning out across the country to speak directly to the American people — underscoring the historic progress we have made, thanks to the president’s agenda as well as the clear contrast between competing visions for the country,” a senior administration official told reporters.

On Monday alone, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will visit Arizona to tout investments for farmers, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland will attend a climate conference in Florida and Steve Benjamin, a senior adviser, will talk about private sector investment in Texas.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday and  Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will visit Kentucky on Wednesday to discuss the administration’s efforts to assist disadvantaged communities.
