This Thursday, President Trump and Joe Biden will both visit the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump announced several days ago his plans to deliver remarks in Eagle Pass, TX.
Earlier today, the Biden campaign revealed that he will also be making a (very rare) trip to the border in Brownsville, TX to meet with border patrol agents and local leaders.
When asked about his impending trip to the border on the same day as Trump, Biden looked a bit caught of guard as he bit into his favorite treat (you guessed it — ice cream!).
He responded that he “didn’t know…my good friend is apparently going,” referring to Trump’s planned border visit.
He also said he’s “not gonna announce ahead of time” what exactly he is planning to do at the border.
Watch Joe’s response here for yourself:

Biden is expected to travel to Brownsville, Texas, to meet with U.S. Border Patrol agents, law enforcement and local leaders, according to a White House official.
That same day, Trump is to deliver remarks in Eagle Pass, Texas, Fox News previously confirmed.
