President Biden will make stops in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico next week, the White House announced Monday.

Details: Biden's tour — set for Aug. 7-10 — is expected to underscore the Inflation Reduction Act and efforts to fight climate change.

No further details were released by the White House.

The intrigue: This is Biden's first presidential visit to Utah.

Between the lines: GOP presidential candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence have each visited the Beehive State this year.
