Sen. Ted Cruz,R-TX,will not accompany President Biden on Air Force One during his trip to assist with recovery efforts and survey damage related to destructive winter weather conditions in Texas, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
Biden is set to tour the state with Texas Gov. Abbott to review ongoing relief operations following subfreezing temperatures that left millions of residents without power or heat. Presidents often invite senators to travel with them from WashingtonD.C. during trips to their home states.
Neither Sen.John Cornyn nor Cruz, who faced intense criticism for taking a family vacation to Cancun, Mexico, at the height of Texas’power crisis, will travel with Biden. When asked about the situation,Psaki cited space limitations on AirForceOne.
"Dr. Biden is traveling, of course, with us to Texas," Psaki said, referencing the First Lady."There are some limitations on space available, so there are not members, I don’t believe, of any party traveling with the president to Texas. But again,he’s going to be spending the day traveling with Gov.Abbott and surveying the damage on the ground."
Psaki added that she would "double-check" on whether Cruz would join Biden at some point during the trip.
"I’m not aware of their plans to participate in the events tomorrow."
Last week,Cruz faced calls to resign after posts circulated on social media showed him and family members boarding a plane to Mexico amid the sweeping power outages. In leaked text messages, Cruz’s wife, Heidi, invited neighbors to join the family at a Cancun resort for a multi-day stay.
The senator flew back to his home state within 24 hours amid a mounting outcry.
Cruz later said the trip was "obviously a mistake" and noted that he had planned to work remotely.
"In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it," Cruz told reporters upon his return.

Bydone will tell Abbott that he’s a stand up guy.
I love Ted, but he still hasn’t learned how to deal with the evil DNC newspuppets.
What is the CFR [Heidi] position?
That’s a good thing. Keep your hands where we can see them.
Waiting for the butt-hurt anti-Cruzers to poison this thread with their hatred ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Yep, he should never have apologized. If anything say I’d do it again.
Cruz is multilaterally hanging out in Cancun?
Cruz has no shortage of anti-Tummprer ‘splainin to do.
Temps got below zero F.
Too busy representing Cancun?
Heidi hasn’t managed to put out the flames yet; He would look dumb on tv with his ass on fire.
There are plenty of pics of him flying with the Kenyanesian Usurper.
That tell's you all of you need to know, Cruz only transgression is not being a complete swamp drone, they are still mad at him for beating Dewhurst in the primaries.
Unless the Republican is a total swamp creature, we need to circle the wagons and field the bullpen we have.
“U.S. Senator Ted Cruz Receives Tri Global Energy's 2019 Wind Leadership Award”
What exactly is required for a member of Congress to be awarded a ‘wind’ leadership award????
Biden is not president.
Traveling with him or meeting with him is supporting his illegitimate usurpation by fraud.
What is Jao gonna do, look at my dead azaleas? It was in the 70s today.
Sen.Cornyn went to DC to work on Amnesty for Illegals and has avoided media criticism.
Their leaves were freeze dried.
How about not traveling with him because he is not the legitimate President and was installed by fraud? DO not recognize the Junta or it’s leader.
