President Joe Biden's coming visit to deep-red Louisiana is one of the few trips Biden has made to Republican states since taking office, following several trips to Democratic and swing states.
Asked how people should perceive this, the White House suggested Biden's pledge to be a president for everyone still holds.
"It's not about just delivering for people who voted for him or people who have blue check marks next to their name because they're Democrats, and that's part of what this visit shows," press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday, referencing verified Twitter users who back Biden's plans.
