U.S. President Joe Biden is set to meet with former President Jimmy Carter in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, tomorrow, Thursday.

The White House press secretary Jen Psaki stated Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter, noting that this event will mark the first time the couples will meet in person since Biden became president.

The Carters did not attend Biden's inauguration in January due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In March, they took part in an ad campaign urging Americans to get the coronavirus vaccine when it is their turn. In addition, all other living former US presidents, besides Donald Trump, participated in the campaign.

Moreover, the White House had previously announced that the Bidens would attend a drive-in rally in Atlanta on Thursday to mark his 100th day in office.

The trip to Georgia, a state that helped Biden land the presidency, securing the Senate for Democrats, is part of what the administration is calling the "Getting America Back on Track" tour.

The tour to different states across the country will highlight the President's accomplishments and promote the administration's ambitious economic legislative agenda.
