President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are expected to leave Washington D.C. to visit the flood-ravaged areas of Texas hit by deadly floods.
As first reported by The Hill, they will visit west-central Texas today to pledge support to families of flood victims and officials.
Local officials and first responders continue to search for at least 170 people missing amid deadly floods that killed more than 120, including dozens of children.
President Trump recently declared a major disaster in Texas to unlock federal funds for debris removal, search and rescue efforts and backing for those who lost their homes, said he will meet with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and receive a briefing from local officials, the White House said.
The event in Kerrville, Texas, will include Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.
The trip marks the third visit by Trump to an area impacted by a major disaster during his second term.
Days after his inauguration, Trump visited Hurricane Helene damage in North Carolina and the aftermath of California’s wildfires.
