ANTRIM COUNTY, Mich. - President Joe Biden is visiting Michigan for part of his Fourth of July weekend. He'll be in a northern part of the state Saturday afternoon.
He spent part of the afternoon touring a local cherry farm.
As part of the administration's "America's Back Together" tour, Biden will be in Antrim County and Traverse City to celebrate the country's vaccine progress.
Leelanau County, where Traverse City is located, has 75% of its population covered by the COVID-19 vaccine - the highest rate of any county in the state. Michigan is in the middle of the pack, with a 61% first-shot coverage.
Biden arrived in Traverse City at 12:15 p.m. and toured the farm at 1:25 p.m.
