Sen. Adam Schiff won’t join President Trump’s visit to California due to nomination votes in Washington, D.C. A spokesperson said Schiff appreciates Trump’s visit and is committed to working on wildfire recovery efforts.
Trump’s trip, his first of his second term, took him to California and North Carolina, where he criticized the Biden administration’s handling of Hurricane Helene and water restrictions in California, wrongly linking them to worsening wildfires.
In North Carolina, Trump visited a village helped by Samaritan’s Purse, and he planned to visit the Pacific Palisades in California, where homes were destroyed by fires.
Thousands remain evacuated as California continues recovery efforts from the devastating wildfires.
