President Joe Biden will travel to Boise on Monday in an effort to survey wildfire damage in the West, the White House announced Thursday.
Biden will visit the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise as part of his first stop in the West. Biden will then head to California with stops in Sacramento and Long Beach, where he will participate in an event with Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. He will complete his tour in Denver.
A White House official said he aimed to increase awareness of climate change's impacts on communities. Biden will also speak on the economic impacts of extreme weather and the need to invest in resilient infrastructure.
Wildfire costs for Idaho had already totaled more than $50 million as of August, according to Idaho Reports.
Monday will be Biden's first visit to Idaho as president. Since President Lyndon Johnson came in 1964, every modern president but Donald Trump has visited the state at least once while in office.
Idaho is also grappling with another COVID-19 surge that has prompted the state to implement crisis standards and ration health care in North Idaho.
When asked whether Biden plans to address the COVID-19 surge, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday said she expects the president to have a range of conversations with elected officials. Psaki said Biden believes there are additional steps to take to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19.
"We know how to return to normal," Psaki said Thursday. "We know how to keep people safe in schools. We know how to go back to sporting events and do it safely, to get back to concerts and do it safely. And I'm sure he'll welcome an opportunity to talk about his six-point plan when he's in Idaho next week."

"Monday will be Biden's first visit to Idaho as president." Let's hope it will be his LAST.
AFGHANISTAN!!! What about the FIASCO THAT HE DID IN AFGHANISTAN?????
Oh no. These are long days for the president ( small p to denote disrespect) and his doctors.
A fitting place for Mr. JoeTatohead. I hope he he mocked until he cries. I really do.
For your enjoyment!
Disambiguator — I hope you go enjoy the spectacle and report back to us!
I’m drawing a blank on names of other FR Idahoans. Is there an Idaho ping list?
pResident Potato Head goes to Boise.
I can’t imagine how the old coot can handle three hours of jet lag. His scrambled brain will get really discombobulated!
“What?! What do you mean we missed pudding time?”
I prefer they give him pieces of their potatoes. 🙂
Oh nooo, that ship has sailed. Move along.
Please boo his dementia ridden ass wherever he goes.
Wouldn’t that be a sight to see? The ground around The Potato littered with potatoes. Kind of like tossing oranges at the Orange Bowl, only kinder!
Someone posted on FR, some time ago, that leftists were turning Boise into Austi North.
Can anyone familiar with it comment?
Boise is nearly lost. Biden is just going to scope out where he can dump more refugees. There are already groups their importing rabid Somalis by the busload with the usual result.
it’s a fake quasi-religious Catholic Relief organization that did the same thing up in north Texas. A bunch of somalis got dumped in Wichita Falls.
I wish a journalist could look into the background, funding and where they decide to drop off the thousands of voters...er I mean immigrants.
Such Bullsh#t.
Don’t know about kinder, but what a site. Perhaps we can get some college kids to yell at Biden like they did at the stadiums. 🙂
Hard to believe he’d even step foot in Idaho.
Biden will be bringing weenies and marshmallows to roast in the fires, and later, helpings of Ben & Jerry’s
Boise? He’ll be okay there. And, thinkin’ our UPOS gov here in NevaDUH will feel slighted. Good!
I hope they let him and the world know exactly what all of us think. And make sure the cameras are rolling and video is not confiscated.
Why is JOe Biden going to Boise?
Cause they make such great speakers Man!
