The president is scheduled to tour an emergency operations center in Harris County, as well as a Houston food bank, where he’ll meet with volunteers. The first lady is also expected to help package food and water for people still struggling to recover from the disaster.
Before leaving the state Friday evening, Biden will deliver remarks at a Covid-19 vaccination facility at the NRG Stadium. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday that the purpose of the trip is to work to get relief to people as soon as possible rather than holding any policy discussions stemming from the storm.
“The president doesn't view the crisis and the millions of people who've been impacted by it as a Democratic or Republican issue," Psaki said at her daily news briefing."He views it as an issue where he's eager to get relief, to tap into all the resources in the federal government, to make sure the people of Texas know we're thinking about them, we’re fighting for them, and we're going to continue working on this as they're recovering.
“There's plenty of time to have a policy discussion about better weatherization, better preparations, and I'm sure that's one that will be had," she added."But right now, we're focused on getting relief to the people in the state, getting updated briefings, tapping into all of the levers of federal government.
Real leaders don't go to Cancun.
He'd have been there sooner but it was too cold for him.
PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS
Biden said he would not use the 747 for domestic travel. What changed his mind?
I thought texas wanted to secede. FreezeBabyFreeze
It’s nice to see the president visit disaster sites again, like they always used to. It really does make me feel better to know the president cares enough to show up. Leadership matters in times of crisis
And he's going to a state that didn't vote for him, but he's not bitching about that nor did he even bring it up. And he's not expecting the governor to kiss his ass either. It's nice having an adult in charge.
Proud and strong american presidential couple, not those two, obedient muzzled disgrace.
Please Help These People!!!!😊😊
Let’s not use POTUS “military” title. Let’s stick to President. War in the 21st century should be replaced by negotiation etc. War is only good for the military-industrial complex.
wont the snow be melted by then ?
Be careful Joey it might be slippery 🧐👀👍
