Greg Abbott: Trump ‘Is Very Concerned about Texans, and Is Very Committed to Helping Us Address Our Needs’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ABBOTT: "We hosted the president for two stops today. First was in Corpus Christi which is close to where the initial land fall of the hurricane hit the Texas shore. That was the first catastrophe we had in this whole weather incident. The president saw similar damage but got to hear firsthand from the people of Corpus Christi. Rockport and those areas, learned firsthand the challenges and the needs they have and the reality that this is not going to be an issue that's going to be solved in a couple days. There was the briefing about what's transpiring in Houston, Texas, as we spoke. The challenge of people in Houston are facing. Most importantly, the compassion and concern I could see on the president's face and his reactions. The president is very concerned about Texans and is very committed to helping us address our needs."
