In-town pool report 1: Assembling

Good afternoon,

Pool is assembling for President Biden's arrival on the South Lawn after some shifting of the schedule on this hot and muggy Sunday with a forecast of possible pop-up storms.

Outside the White House this afternoon was what felt like downright "normal" summer activity, including plenty of tourists and demonstrators and few barricades. There has been a large contingent of "Free Cuba" supporters in Lafayette Square for at least several hours, since your pooler came in to get her pre-requisite COVID test. Agents at the door said they've been here all day (and for several days, for that matter).

Will advise when the President is wheels down and, as always, of any news.

In-town pool report 2: arrival/ newsy one question /lid

M1 was wheels down on the South Lawn at 3:46 pm.

POTUS exited at 3:48 pm wearing his trademark shades and no tie.

He answered one question about whether a pathway to citizenship needs to be in the reconciliation bill:

"There needs a pathway for citizenship, whether it can be in *immigration remains to be seen."
*The President seemingly misspoke where he meant reconciliation.

Travel photo lid called at 3:50.
