President Biden coming to New Mexico

President Joe Biden is set to visit New Mexico next week as part of a three-state swing through the West promoting efforts to combat climate change.

The visit will also include stops in Arizona and Utah.

The president's last visit to New Mexico was in the final days before last year's midterm election. He also traveled to the state amid the devastating wildfires last summer.

In next week's visit, a White House official said, Biden is expected to tout provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act addressing climate change and promoting clean energy and manufacturing.

The three-state trip is scheduled for Monday to Aug. 10.
