NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- President Joe Biden will be visiting New York City on Monday afternoon to take part in a "campaign meeting," the White House said—and word is he'll also be doing an interview for "Late Night With Seth Meyers."
He will be arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport at around 2 p.m. and is expected to attend a campaign meeting at 2:45 p.m., according to his schedule. Details of the closed-press meeting are unclear.
During his visit, Biden is also scheduled to record an interview with Seth Meyers on his late-night talk show, an unnamed source familiar with the president's plans told the Associated Press.
Going into this year's presidential election, Biden is trying to find additional ways to reach out to voters, having largely avoided White House press conferences and on-the-record sit-downs with text reporters. Biden also avoided the traditional pre-Super Bowl presidential interview.
Biden's interview for Late Night with Seth Meyers will mark his first since December when he made an appearance on Conan O'Brien's podcast.
Meyers has taken frequent jabs at former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination.
During his first three years as president, Biden has given 33 news conferences, the fewest in that time span since Ronald Reagan, according to Martha Kumar, a Towson University professor emeritus and expert on presidents and the press. Biden has given just 86 interviews, significantly less than the 422 given by Barack Obama during his first three years.
The New York Post first reported that Meyers was interviewing the president.
Biden is expected to leave New York City at around 6:30 p.m. on Monday.
