President Donald Trump to Visit Houston for Republican Fundraiser and NASA Ceremony
President Donald Trump will travel to Houston on Thursday to participate in a Republican National Committee fundraiser. The administration announced that the event will take place at 6 p.m. local time, aiming to bolster the party's finances ahead of the November midterm elections. The fundraiser serves to support Republican candidates, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is currently facing a competitive race against Democratic state Representative James Talarico for a U.S. Senate seat. On Friday, President Donald Trump will visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center to present the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew. The four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—will be honored for their historic mission traveling beyond the Moon. The administration announced that the ceremony begins at 10 a.m. local time. This visit follows a recent endorsement by President Donald Trump of Senator Darline Graham, which helped her secure a victory in a South Carolina special primary.
