President Trump is expected to make a visit to Florida this week due to Irma. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders made that announcement Tuesday.

“The President and the entire administration continue to monitor the situation in Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Florida, Texas, and all areas affected by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey. FEMA administrator Long is traveling to the affected areas today, and the President will be making a trip to Florida Thursday.”

Millions are still without power across Florida, and several areas have been devastated by Irma, especially the Florida Keys.
