On Friday, Biden said he spoke with Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and they discussed what exactly the state needed to address the weather and utility crisis.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tonight, I called Governor Greg Abbott to discuss the ongoing situation in Texas and identify ways we can support the state\u2019s recovery from this storm.

The answer is yes. The question is, I had planned on being in Texas the middle of next week, but what I don\u2019t want to be is a burden,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2021\/02\/19\/remarks-by-president-biden-at-the-2021-virtual-munich-security-conference\/\">Biden stated<\/a>. \u201cWhen the president lands in any city in America, it creates, it has a long tail, and they\u2019re working like the devil to take care of their folks. If, in fact, it\u2019s concluded that I can do it without creating a burden for the folks on the ground while they\u2019re dealing with this crisis, I plan on going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His unclear response drew criticism, with some pointing to trips President Trump took to states hit hard by natural disasters.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/don-jr-i-wont-jump-on-bandwagon-to-cancel-sen-cruz\/\">Don Jr.: I Won\u2019t Jump On Bandwagon To Cancel Sen.
