Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, although invited by President Trump to join his visit to Los Angeles County, will remain in Washington, D.C., due to scheduled nomination votes. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated that the Senate will continue working late into nights and weekends to approve Trump's Cabinet nominees. Both senators have expressed regret at not being able to attend but welcome the president's attention to the wildfire devastation in California and support for federal disaster aid.
I'm glad that he's going to see the devastation because frankly, until you see it and the scope of it whole neighborhoods gone, block after block after block it's hard to wrap your head around.
Schiff greatly appreciates the president's visit to see the devastation of these wildfires firsthand and the invitation to accompany him and regrets that he is unable to join the president.
