U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are hoping to console a city stricken by grief and anger when they meet with families affected by the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that killed 19 students and two teachers.

The visit to Uvalde on Sunday is Biden's second trip in as many weeks to comfort a community in mourning after staggering loss. On May 17, he was in Buffalo, New York, to meet with victims' families and condemn white supremacy after a shooter espousing the racist "replacement theory" killed 10 Black people at a supermarket.

Biden was to visit the makeshift memorial outside Robb Elementary School before attending Mass at a local Catholic church. He was also scheduled to meet with family members at a community centre and then with first responders at the local airport before returning to Washington, the White House said. He was not expected to deliver formal remarks.

"If there's anything if I could tell Joe Biden, as it is, just to respect our community while he's here, and I'm sure he will," she added. "But we need change. We need to do something about it." On Wednesday, before details about the delayed officer response were known, Biden had praised their efforts, saying, "brave local officers and Border Patrol agents intervened to save as many children as they could."

With Jill Biden standing by his side in the Roosevelt Room, the president, who has suffered the loss of two of his own children -- though not to gun violence -- spoke in visceral terms about the grief of the loved ones of the victims and the pain that will endure for the students who survived.

CTV you should really start reading the comment sections of your social media. Seems pretty obvious the majority does not support your leftist pandering. I know… the only way you make money is from leftist government handouts but if you ditch them you might not need charity
