Bidens expected to visit Texas following school shooting

First lady Jill Biden said Wednesday that she and President Biden plan to visit Texas following the tragic mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde that left at least 19 children dead.
“Of course we’re going to visit Texas,” the first lady told reporters at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., where she was meeting a second military plane filled with baby formula as part of the White House response to a separate crisis.
The president often visits sites of tragedies, but the White House is mindful of Biden’s footprint and the degree to which it will disrupt the community. It’s not clear when the trip to Texas will happen; Biden is scheduled to deliver commencement speeches at the Naval Academy and the University of Delaware on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
President Biden, fresh off a trip to Asia, delivered remarks on the horrific mass shooting late Tuesday at the White House. He called for action in Congress on gun control legislation, expressing outrage at the school shooting and the lack of federal action on gun restrictions in the decade since the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.
