Former president and current candidate Donald Trump is bringing the campaign to Austin tomorrow, with a 12:30pm press conference at the airport planned before recording an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the massively popular podcast.

His presidential opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, will also be in Texas tomorrow, for a previously announced campaign rally in Houston with H-Town native Beyoncé appearing in support.

The City of Austin issued a Thursday warning to drivers to expect road closures and traffic delays around Trump’s visit.

“Street closures are expected along all lanes of HWY 71, including frontage lanes, between HWY 183 and Woodward Street. Additionally, all lanes, including frontage lanes, of HWY-183 between HWY 71 and Burleson Road will close for the visit. No closures are expected on IH-35.”

Additionally, AUS air travelers should build extra time into their airport arrival time.
