AUSTIN (KXAN) — Former President Donald Trump will be in the Texas capital Friday, holding a press conference near the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and joining podcaster Joe Rogan to record an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience." Trump is poised to discuss border security and migrant crime during a presser at Million Air, located at 4801 Emma Browning Ave. near the South Terminal of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. His press conference is set to begin at 12:30 p.m., per event details. Former president Donald Trump to make stop in Austin on Friday The city of Austin said Thursday street closures are anticipated along all lanes of State Highway 71 — including the frontage roads — between U.S. Highway 183 and Woodward Street. All lanes, including frontage ones, of U.S. 183 between SH 71 and Burleson Road are also set to be closed during the event, officials said. Interstate 35 isn't expected to be impacted by Trump's visit, officials noted. City leaders are asking residents and commuters to seek out alternative routes to avoid delays and use public transportation where possible. Officials said drivers should avoid parking along the route. GOP maps out agenda for Trump’s first 100 days An AUS spokesperson said passengers at the Barbara Jordan Terminal aren't expected to be affected by his visit, but "South Terminal travelers may see roadway impacts on Emma Browning." City officials added both passengers and AUS employees needing to head to the airport in the afternoon should plan for possible delays and allow themselves more time to arrive to AUS. Trump is now flagged by a heightened number of Secret Service agents and security details following assassination attempts against the former president, according to late September reporting from NBC News. Vice President Kamala Harris is also seeing heightened safety protocol amid her campaigning as the Democratic presidential nominee, per NBC. Alongside Trump's press conference near AUS is his appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. Rogan, an Austin resident since 2020, typically records in his studio at his Lake Austin home. While his exact travel time and route isn't known for security reasons, the typical route between AUS and the Lake Austin area involves driving along SH 71 to U.S. Highway 290 and then up along Loop 360.
