CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A White House source has confirmed to Spectrum News that President Donald Trump will pay a visit to Corpus Christi on Feb. 27 to give a speech on energy and the economy.<\/p>\n

This comes just days before an already hotly contested primary election on March 3, featuring a marquee battle in the Republican U.S. Senate race between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt.<\/p>\n

Trump hasn\u2019t endorsed a candidate in that race, having previously said that he has yet to make a decision and that he likes all three of the candidates.<\/p>\n

The speech will also closely follow the president\u2019s State of the Union address, during which he is expected to tout his accomplishments since retaking office in January 2025.<\/p>\n

There is as yet no word on who, if anyone, will join him, but at least one state representative announced on X<\/a> that he was shifting his rally with Gov. Greg Abbott in Lockhart to earlier in the day due to the president’s visit.<\/p>\n

The president last visited the Texas coast in 2022, where he held a political rally.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A White House source has confirmed to Spectrum News that President Donald Trump will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[1658,2160,132,155,157,156,102,6288,138,409,56,1062,287,82,27,2053],"class_list":["post-178184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-app-local-state-politics","tag-app-top-stories","tag-austin","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news","tag-dallas","tag-decision-2026","tag-el-paso","tag-election","tag-houston","tag-mike-dalonzo","tag-politics","tag-san-antonio","tag-texas","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
