Pence cancels some events because of virus spikes

Vice President Mike Pence called off campaign events in Florida and Arizona this coming week as the states experience a surge in new coronavirus cases.

Pence will still travel to those states, which have set records for new confirmed infections in recent days, the White House confirmed, saying he will meet with governors and their health teams.

Pence is traveling to Dallas on Sunday to attend a “Celebrate Freedom Rally” at First Baptist Church Dallas. But planned political events later in the week have been pushed off.

On Tuesday, Pence was supposed to address a Trump- Pence campaign “Faith in America” event in Tuscon, Ariz. The campaign event has been postponed.
