Republican Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, have canceled their planned trip to cast an early ballot in Pence's home state of Indiana. Pence's spokesperson said the change in plans has nothing to do with COVID-19.
Pence was set to appear in Indianapolis, the state capitol, and had planned to vote at the Indianapolis City-County Building, according to the Indianapolis Star. Pence's office said he will reschedule the trip for sometime soon.
"Nobody's sick," Pence spokesman Devin O'Malley said, according to Olivia Nuzzi, Washington correspondent for New York magazine. "There's no positive tests. The VP is planning on traveling on Saturday and Monday. We'll have more information on the vice president's schedule next week soon."
While the Indiana trip had reportedly been on Pence's schedule for nine days at least, Nuzzi said, it was canceled Wednesday evening with no explanation from the White House.
Both Pence and the Second Lady are said to have tested negative for COVID-19 as of Thursday. Pence spoke at a Trump re-election rally in Nevada on Thursday afternoon and is scheduled to speak at a suburban event on Thursday evening.
