Vice President Pence canceled a bus tour in Florida next week after the state experienced a rise in coronavirus cases.
Pence had been set to appear in Lake Wales at an event next week organized by pro-Trump group America First Policies billed as the “Great American Comeback Tour.†The group announced Saturday that the event had been postponed “out of an abundance of caution.â€
Pence is still traveling to Florida, the White House confirmed to The Hill, saying the vice president would meet with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his health officials.
For the third time in four days, Florida broke its record for new daily cases of COVID-19, with the Florida Department of Health reporting nearly 10,000 new cases on Saturday.
