President Joe Biden will visit Scranton in the first of several stops next week in Pennsylvania.
Biden will arrive in Scranton on Tuesday and leave Wednesday for Pittsburgh, the White House said Friday.
This is his first visit to the region since last fall, when he attended the funeral of former Pennsylvania first lady Ellen Casey.
Biden plans to visit Philadelphia again on Thursday, the White House said.
A Biden campaign news statement promised Biden will "deliver a major address in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania."
"The address will drive home a simple question: Do you think the tax code should work for rich people or for the middle class? The President has made it clear what he thinks the answer is, and so has Donald Trump," the statement said.
Local Democratic leaders could offer no details of the visit, though Biden frequently visits the Scranton neighborhood where he spent five years and frequently visited after that during his youth.
Scranton Mayor Paige Gebhart Cognetti said she is "thrilled" to welcome Biden home to Scranton, and that the president shows his "Scranton roots" through his economic policies.
"I look forward to hearing from him on Tuesday about how his administration will continue their excellent work and engagement in a second term," she said.
Since taking office, Biden has visited Scranton twice and Luzerne County once. He was also in Scranton on Election Day in 2020 after visiting several times during the campaign.
