President Donald Trump on Friday is scheduled to take his first trip since his second term inauguration, visiting two parts of the country devastated by natural disasters. The president will first head to western North Carolina, where recovery efforts are still ongoing after Hurricane Helene ripped through the area last year.

Later, Trump will travel to southern California, which has been rocked by brutal wildfires. The president has threatened to withhold relief from California if it doesn't reroute water to the southern part of the state. Trump is then scheduled to end the day in Nevada, spending the night ahead of a campaign-style rally in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Back in Washington, Trump will be addressing via video the 52nd annual March for Life rally to protest against abortion. Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are also on the speaking agenda. And the Senate around 9 p.m. is expected to hold a final confirmation vote for Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon.
