President Trump will not visit Houston during his trip to Texas on Tuesday, but will instead remain closer to the area where Hurricane Harvey hit land, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday.

“The place he will be going to will not be Houston, so [he] will not be getting into harm’s way or interrupting the evacuations or emergency response in the Houston area,” Abbott, a Republican, told CBS. “He most likely will be going closer to where the hurricane hit land.”
