President Barack Obama arrived Wednesday evening to the Bay Area, where he will attend Democratic fundraiser events before his scheduled departure Thursday afternoon.
Air Force One touched down at 7:09 p.m. at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View.
Obama, who is in the Bay Area for the first time this year, spent the night in the San Jose area.
On Thursday, he will attend a Democratic National Committee event at the home of former state Controller Steve Westly and Anita Yu in Atherton and will also attend a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee event.
General admission tickets for the event in Atherton have sold out. The public can still purchase special guest, photo line guest and premium seating tickets, which run between $1,000 and $25,000 each.
His roughly 19-hour visit will end Thursday afternoon when he’s estimated to leave from Moffett Field for Los Angeles, where he will tape an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and attend DNC events.
Obama’s last visit to the Bay Area was in October when he attended a fundraising concert at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco featuring rapper Kanye West.
