The president Donald Trump returned to Florida this weekend for the first time since his inauguration last Monday.
Trump arrived at Miami International Airport on Saturday night and went directly to Trump National Doral Miami, his golf club and resort in Miami-Dade.
The president will preside over the Republican congressional conference taking place from Monday to Wednesday. Some high-profile Republican legislators, such as Cuban-American Carlos Giménez, will attend the event.
The news of his arrival mobilized his followers, who gathered in Doral to show their support, under strict security measures, according to a report by CBC News.
The last time Trump was in Florida was in the days following the election. On that occasion, he stayed at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
In recent days, he has visited areas in North Carolina and California affected by Hurricane Helene last year and by the recent wildfires, respectively.
His agenda upon returning to the White House has been very busy.
This week, a special session is scheduled for the Florida Legislature on the topic of immigration.
