President Donald Trump plans to visit Texas to personally inspect flood damage and meet with local officials and others.
Talking to reporters on Sunday, the president said that he had not yet made firm plans for the trip to the Lone Star State, but expected that “probably Friday” would be the day.
&#8220;We wanted to leave a little time. I would&#8217;ve done it today, but we&#8217;d just be in their way,” the president said.

Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/texas-flooding-camp-mystic-07-06-25-hnk#cmcs5x3na000c3b6rxmty6skf">pledged</a> continued federal assistance for those affected by the flooding, as well.
“We’ll continue to be there. And we’re working very closely with representatives from Texas, and it’s a horrible thing that took place, absolutely horrible,” Trump said. “So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless, God bless the state of Texas.”
The president was noncommittal on assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which took heavy criticism in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene last year. The hurricane wrought catastrophic damage in North Carolina in September, and the FEMA response was mired in controversy over accusations that federal officials complicated and slowed the emergency response.
“FEMA is something we can talk about later, but right now, they’re busy working, so we’ll leave it at that,” Trump said.
By Sunday afternoon, the death toll from the Texas flooding had reached at least 80. The majority of those fatalities – 68 – have come from Kerr County in Central Texas. Of those killed in Kerr, 40 are adults and 28 are children, according to local authorities.
The flash flooding caught many by surprise when the Guadalupe River in Texas surged 26 feet in roughly three-quarters of an hour. The surge hit Kerr in the early morning during one of the most popular camping weekends of the year. Many staying along the river on Friday did not realize the danger bearing down until the water was already high.

“I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!”
