President Joe Biden is in Portland, and his only public appearance of his two-day visit is his midday speech at East Portland Community College about his administration’s efforts to reduce prescription drug costs and other ways he’s trying to tame the cost of living.
Here’s how to watch his speech live:
The president is also here to raise money for Democratic candidate for governor Tina Kotek and try to ignite the Democratic base in the Portland area as Oregon Democrats face tough races for governor, Congress and the statehouse. Ballots will begin arriving at Oregon voters’ homes in less than a week.
The president will head straight to the Kotek fundraiser from the community center event. He will fly home to Delaware later today.
