CAPITOLA — President Joe Biden visited Santa Cruz County on Thursday, marking the first presidential trip since then-President George H.W. Bush toured Santa Cruz just days after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake flattened the downtown area and caused $433 million in damages countywide.
Air Force One landed at Moffett Federal Airfield late Thursday morning before Biden toured storm-ravaged areas in the Marine One helicopter before landing at Watsonville Municipal Airport.
Biden’s motorcade arrived in Capitola at 1:36 p.m. After touring Capitola Village, the president headed to Seacliff State Beach. Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom spoke to the media at Seacliff before the president headed back to the Watsonville Airport.
