Trump, Melania Visit Texas After July 4 Floods

Former President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump visited Kerrville, Texas, following the July 4 floods that killed over 120 people and left more than 160 missing. The Trumps toured flood-ravaged areas, met with families and first responders, and joined Texas Governor Greg Abbott and local officials for a roundtable on recovery efforts. Trump approved a disaster declaration to expedite federal assistance, a move Governor Abbott praised for bringing vital resources to the area. The floods severely impacted Camp Mystic, a historic girls' summer camp, where at least 27 campers and counselors died. Democrats criticized the Trump administration for the delayed FEMA response, citing a policy requiring high-cost expense approval, but Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem denied that any delays occurred. Memorials have been established in Kerrville to honor victims as recovery and relief continue.
