Vice Presidential Motorcade To Tie Up LA Traffic

LOS ANGELES, CA — Vice President Kamala Harris will fly into Los Angeles International Airport late Friday afternoon before heading with her husband to their home in Brentwood for the weekend, triggering rush-hour traffic delays.

Authorities are warning Westside motorists to avoid the area or expect rush-hour delays due to the Vice Presidential motorcade. The Vice President will be at an event in San Bernardino with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to address federal support for wildfire prevention and mitigation in California.

Harris is scheduled to fly to Los Angeles International Airport late Friday afternoon. From there she is expected to head to Brenwtood, likely tying up the San Diego (405) Freeway, although details about her route have been released.

The vice president does not have any pre-announced public appearances planned. She is scheduled to return to Washington, D.C., on Monday.

Harris completed her first year in office with a 44 percent approval rating mirroring President Joe Biden's, according to a news CBS News poll.

This week, Biden committed to choosing Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate in again in 2024 if he runs for reelection.

While the vice president is in San Bernardino, her husband, Doug Emhoff, is scheduled to take part in a "service activity" with AmeriCorps at a Los Angeles-area food bank Friday afternoon, speaking with volunteers and helping pack bags of food, according to the White House. Following that event, he will meet privately with area "legal aid providers."
