Biden will accompany the first lady, 69, in the morning "to an appointment for a common medical procedure at an outpatient center in Washington, DC. Afterward, the President and the First Lady will return to the White House to resume their normal schedule," a White House official said.
The president's schedule said Biden will receive his daily brief in the Oval Office at 10:15 a.m.
