Big guns rolled out to welcome Joe. Philadelphia's top brass, including Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, is set to meet President Joe Biden when Air Force One touches down in the City of Brotherly Love today. According to the official press release from the city, Parker along with other dignitaries will greet the president at Philadelphia International Airport. The full deets of the pow-wow haven't been disclosed, but Biden's expected to make the most out of his Philly visit.

The press statement on the city's website was posted at the stroke of midnight, getting ahead to swiftly set the stage for the high-profile arrival. The mayor is likely trying to make a significant impression, both on the president and the city residents, as she sets out to emphatically lay out the red carpet. The meet-and-greet is part of an itinerary listed on Mayor Parker's schedule for the day.

No stranger to the limelight, Mayor Parker has been making headlines with her proactive approach to governing Philadelphia. While the meeting is pegged as a routine welcome, political watchers are sniffing around for any sign of policy discussions between Parker and Biden, especially given the city's recent initiatives to tackle hot-button issues.

The city's announcement signals a day charged with anticipation, as Philadelphians are left to ponder what might transpire behind the closed doors of a mayoral greeting. Local news outlets are geared up to catch the first glimpse of the president's arrival and any public statements likely to follow. As always, security is tight and expectations high for whenever the commander in chief blows into town, but whether this meet-and-greet will amount to more than pleasantries remains to be seen.
