Donald and Melania Trump to visit Florida to survey damage

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. _ President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will visit Florida on Thursday to survey damage from Hurricane Irma.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the president's visit during Tuesday's press briefing.

Melania Trump revealed on Twitter that she would travel with the president.

"My concern continues for all impacted by the hurricanes. Will fly to #Florida on Thursday w @potus to survey the damages from #HurricaneIrma," said a post on Melania Trump's official Twitter account.

Trump owns Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach and three other properties in Florida. He recently made two trips to Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

The White House has not revealed where the Trumps will visit in Florida. Most of the state experienced some impact, with Gov. Rick Scott on Monday saying the Keys appeared to be hardest hit.
