A visit from President Joe Biden to Manhattan for a campaign meeting followed by an interview on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" snarled traffic in Midtown Monday evening.
The president was just in the city earlier this month for a number of campaign events, which also tied up traffic and prompted some protests in the city.
The president flew into JFK before making his way into Manhattan shortly after 2 p.m., and is expected to depart for D.C. around 7 p.m.
The News 4 Traffic team posted on X: "President Biden is in town today. Expect delays, detours, & closures all through out NYC but especially in Lower Manhattan & Midtown."

Biden's motorcade arrive at 30 Rockefeller Plaza around 3:40 p.m. ahead of the taping with NBC's Seth Meyers. Streets around Rockefeller Plaza are either closed or with limited access.
Biden's motorcade departed 30 Rock around 5:50 p.m.
Biden's visit comes almost three weeks after his last trip into the city. Blocks of interlocking bicycle racks cleared the roads for Biden's motorcade as he packed in three fundraisers in four hours.

For all those Manhattan residents stuck lining the closed streets, Biden has plans to come back to New York for a bigger splash on March 28. He'll team up for another fundraiser in the city with former Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
