LOS ANGELES, CA — First Lady Jill Biden will only be in Los Angeles for a few hours Friday, but that is more than enough time to jam up the afternoon rush hour.

Biden was scheduled to land at Hollywood Burbank Airport early Friday afternoon to speak at a fundraiser at an undisclosed location. From there, she will fly out again for a campaign event in Arizona in the early evening.

It's the third fundraiser for her husband's reelection campaign in two days in two states. Her West Coast campaign and fundraiser blitz includes stops in Portland, the Bay Area, Phoenix and Los Angeles in less than two days.
