THIS WEEKEND
Saturday, Sep. 2 – President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump make a second trip to Texas, and visit Louisiana, in the wake of flooding from Hurricane Harvey. The couple visited Corpus Christi and Austin, TX, earlier in the week. Harvey made landfall along the Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane Aug. 25 before being downgraded to a tropical storm Aug. 26, briefly moved back out into the Gulf of Mexico, then moved on a path up through the U.S. over the course of the week, as a tropical depression.
