President Joe Biden postponed his visit to Austin after former President Donald Trump survived gunshots that the FBI is investigating as an assassination attempt, the White House announced Sunday.
According to Report, which cites The Texas Tribune, Biden was slated to visit Austin on Monday to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library. He was also going to attend a fundraiser hosted by LBJ’s daughter Luci Baines Johnson.
Biden’s campaign paused its ads after Trump was shot during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The White House did not give a new date for Biden's Austin visit. The LBJ Library said the ceremony would be postponed to later this month.
