President Joe Biden on Wednesday said that he and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Uvalde, Texas, to meet with the families of the 19 children and two teachers killed during the second-worst elementary school shooting in U.S. history.
“Jill and I will be traveling to Texas in the coming days to meet with the families and let them know we have a sense of their pain, and hopefully bring some little comfort to a community in shock, in grief, and in trauma,” Biden said at the White House during a live bill signing ceremony that sets broad new policing standards for federal law enforcement agencies.
