White House says
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will visit Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday to meet with families who lost loved ones in the horrific mass shooting, as well as to meet with other community members and religious leaders, the White House announced.
"On Sunday, May 29, the President and the First Lady will travel to Uvalde, Texas to grieve with the community that lost twenty-one lives in the horrific elementary school shooting," according to an adviser from the White House.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierr offered more details about the trip during a press briefing Thursday.
"While he's there, the President will meet with the community leaders, religious leaders and the families of the victims.
The President and first lady believe it is important to show their support for the community during this devastating time and to be there for the families of the victims," Jean-Pierre told reporters at the White House.
Jean-Pierre also urged Congress to take action and lamented the loss of life from Tuesday's terrible mass shooting that killed 19 children and two adults.

I am not surprised the President and First Lady plan to visit and pay their respects to the children and teachers who lost their lives. Meghan Markle also has made a trip to Texas to pay her respects. She showed up without much fanfare to honour the lost lives.
