President Trump will visit Texas on Friday to meet with victims of the devastating Fourth of July weekend flooding that led to at least 110 deaths.
More than 170 people are still missing.
“I’ll be going down on Friday with the first lady and we will be taking a trip. And we don’t want to get in anyone’s way because, you know, it’s what happens. The president goes, and everyone’s around focused. I don’t want anyone to focus on us,” Trump said.
Emergency responders have rescued at least 850 people.
“They could have somebody saved still,” Trump said. “And, you know, probably unlikely at this point, but that could be. I mean, they’re thinking there could be the possibility, but, what a tragic situation.”
