Washington – President Joe Biden’s much-anticipated visit to Austin, Texas has been rescheduled for Monday following the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump. Originally planned for July 15, this marks the President’s first visit to the state since announcing he would not seek reelection come November.
Destined for the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, President Biden will mark the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. A landmark piece of civil rights and US labor law legislation, this act outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
Biden plans to share his administration’s progress in advancing civil rights and outlining his vision for the future. The goal? Ensuring the “promise of America” extends to all communities, as per a statement from the White House.
Following a week recovering from COVID-19 in Delaware, the Austin visit will mark one of Biden’s first public appearances since his announcement. Controversy surrounds his decision, with prominent members including U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett encouraging the President to step aside.
Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 reelection echoes that of Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1968, adding further significance to the Austin visit. A planned fundraiser with Luci Baines Johnson, former president’s daughter, remains under wraps regarding its rescheduling status.
With various issues on the horizon, the climate surrounding Biden’s visit is one rooted in anticipation. The intention behind the rescheduled Austin visit remains clear – to commemorate a significant historical event integral to American progress. Austin, Texas, and broader communities eagerly await the President’s address.
