Trump’s site previously listed a few upcoming events Pence would be attending. Now says “check back later.” Unusual.
Top Trump aides have been seen meeting with Chris Christie at his house in NJ – potential new VP?
BREAKING…Pence has pulled out from going to Wisconsin later….
Various news outlets are now reporting that Mike Pence has cancelled a planned campaign appearance in Wisconsin, where he was to appear with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the place of Donald Trump, who was disinvited late Friday.
Trump was originally scheduled to appear with Ryan at the state GOP event in what would have been their first campaign appearance together. Ryan announced late Friday, after the video emerged, that Trump would no longer be attending. Coming from Ryan, rather the Trump campaign, the announcement was widely interpreted as Ryan disinviting his own nominee, with whom he has had a turbulent relationship.
A short time later, Trump announced that Pence would be attending in his place: “Governor Mike Pence will be representing me tomorrow in Wisconsin. I will be spending the day in New York in debate prep with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Jeff Sessions, and then flying to St. Louis on Sunday for the 2nd Presidential Debate.”
Pence was still scheduled to attend the event with Ryan until midday Saturday, when reports emerged Pence was scrapping the appearance. The reasons for Pence’s cancellation were not immediately clear.
