Biden and first lady arrive in Reno en route to Lake Tahoe

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) -President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived in Reno on Friday en route to Lake Tahoe for vacation.

Air Force 1 landed at Reno-Tahoe International Airport just after 8:30 p.m. The Bidens disembarked, got in a black sports utility vehicle bearing the presidential seal and headed out.

There was heavy security at the airport and south on Interstate 580 as they headed to Lake Tahoe.

The Glenbrook home they are renting belongs to Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor. Steyer is an investor, climate activist and Democratic donor, The Associated Press reported. Steyer ran for president in 2020.

The Bidens are renting the home for fair market value, the White House said, and will spend about a week in the area, the AP said.

Biden is scheduled to travel to Maui on Monday to view the wildfire devastation and meet with first responders and survivors, then return to Lake Tahoe.
