President Trump said on Sunday that he expects to travel to Texas on Friday to visit areas of the state hardest hit by the catastrophic flash flooding.

“Probably on Friday,” Trump told reporters, when asked whether he plans to visit Texas.

“We wanted to leave a little time,” he continued. “I would have done it today, but we’d just be in their way. Probably Friday.”

As of Sunday afternoon, at least 70 people had been confirmed dead in central Texas, where search and rescue operations continued to scour the area hit the hardest by Friday’s floods.

Kerr County, where Camp Mystic and other summer camps are located, confirmed 59 deaths, including 38 adults and 21 children, the sheriff’s office said Sunday morning. Eleven people from other counties were confirmed dead, The Associated Press reported.

The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office stated that, as of Sunday morning, 11 campers from Camp Mystic and one counselor were still unaccounted for.

Trump signed a “major disaster declaration” for Kerr County, Texas, on Sunday morning, “to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

“These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders,” Trump continued.

The Hill reached out to the White House for more details on the trip.
