SUMMARY: President Biden is scheduled to visit the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and Museum in Austin on Monday for the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act commemoration, nearly a week after exiting the 2024 presidential race. Despite withdrawing, Biden's visit underscores his commitment to party ideals. Austin residents can anticipate traffic delays and street closures from the airport to the museum, with flight delays expected around Biden's arrival and departure. Following an earlier assassination attempt on Trump, heightened security measures will be enforced, including temporary flight restrictions and drone bans, reflecting increased caution after recent security lapses.

President Joe Biden is expected to visit Austin tomorrow for an event at LBJ Library. His visit is expected to cause traffic delays as well as impact public transportation and air travel.
