Just days after the deadliest school shooting in Texas history, Gov. Abbott & Sen. Cruz are set to attend the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Houston this weekend, where they are scheduled to join former President Donald Trump.
NBC 5 reached out to Abbott and senators Cornyn and Cruz to find out if each of them is still planning to keep their speaking engagements Friday at the NRA convention, where they are supposed to join former President Donald Trump.
A representative from Cornyn's office replied:"Prior to the tragedy today in Uvalde we had already informed the NRA he would not be able to speak due to an unexpected change in his schedule. He now has to be in D.C. for personal reasons on Friday."
