Good Wednesday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• President Trump will visit Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso on Wednesday as part of an effort to project a message of national unity and healing. However, local officials and residents have been divided over the visits as many hold him responsible for inflaming the country’s racial divisions.

• Texas could become competitive in 2020 because of a dramatically shifting immigrant population and increasingly moderate urban centers. There is a consensus that Mr. Trump will have to pay attention to the state and perhaps even spend time and money there to ensure victory.

• For many Latinos, a bridge was crossed with the El Paso shooting. Some Latinos are describing it as a 9/11 moment, a feeling that — even for families who have lived through multiple generations in America — they are under threat. We talked to families across America about this uncomfortable new anxiety.
