put in an appearance

Pop music superstar Beyoncé put in an appearance to endorse Harris, telling the crowd she wasn’t there as a celebrity but as a mother, “who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in.”

Harris was here just last fall, though it’s been a few years since President Joe Biden has put in an appearance.

Biden put in an appearance in Monterey Park, a city of about 60,000 people just east of Los Angeles, less than two months after a horrific mass shooting there.

Poppies don’t bloom in December — not even here — and roses put in an appearance only betimes.

When no one had bothered him for a while, he asked, “Isn't it time for ‘Old Temperature’ to put in an appearance?”
