Former President Barack Obama will be returning to the White House on Tuesday for his first public event there since he left office in 2017.

A White House official said Sunday that Obama will be joining President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to �deliver remarks celebrating the success of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid in extending affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.�

The event is part of Biden�s effort to turn his focus to pocketbook issues that directly affect American households. While job growth has been steady since he took office, inflation is at its worst level in a generation.

The White House said Biden �will take additional action to further strengthen the ACA and save families hundreds of dollars a month on their health care.�

Health Secretary Xavier Becerra and other members of Biden�s Cabinet will attend Tuesday�s event.

Obama�s visit to the White House was first reported by NBC News.
