First lady Jill Biden will visit New Orleans on Friday to tour the Louisiana Cancer Research Center.
Senator Bill Cassidy and his wife, Laura, both doctors, will accompany her.
President Biden has proposed a "moon shot" for cancer research. Likening the effort to President John F. Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon, President Biden wants to fund cancer research with the goal of cutting the cancer death rate in half over the next 25 years.
Mrs. Biden is scheduled to arrive at the airport around 1:30, and arrive at the cancer research center near downtown around 2:15.
Expect traffic delays when the first lady's motorcade is traveling.
