President Biden dined at a posh Upper East Side Italian restaurant Tuesday night as his successor atop the Democratic ticket readied for her presidential debate.
The 81-year-old commander in chief was spotted dining at Campagnola on First Avenue, after he told reporters he was heading to the Big Apple to celebrate his granddaughter’s birthday.
Before departing for New York, Biden said that he planned to watch the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump at 9 p.m.
The president said he had spoken to Harris earlier and offered advice.
“I’m going up to my granddaughter’s birthday in New York, then we’re going to watch the debate and tomorrow I’m doing 9/11,” he previously told reporters.
“I’ve spoken to the vice president. She seems calm, cool and collected. I think she’s going to do great. And I’m not going to tell you what advice I gave her.”
