NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — President Donald Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden have arrived in Nashville for Thursday night's debate at Belmont University.

Air Force One touched down around 2 p.m. and Biden arrived about 90 minutes later.

Their arrival brought several rolling roadblocks across Nashville causing major delays across all interstates. Several roads near Belmont University have already closed ahead of Thursday's event.
