Vice President Mike Pence Called Back To White House, Cancels NH Event

Source: CBS Local Affilate

MANCHESTER, N.H. (CBS) — Vice President Mike Pence was set to speak about the opioid crisis in New Hampshire on Tuesday, but the event was abruptly canceled.

An official close to Pence told CNN that there is no emergency, and “the VP was called back to the White House but no cause for alarm.”

A spokeswoman for Pence tweeted that “something came up that required the VP to remain in Washington, DC.”

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports that officials are not offering more details about the cancellation, but say it’s “not health related to the Pres or VP or national security related.”

I googled for a bit, but it looked like most of the credible-looking results were talking about how such a council might exist at some point in the future. I didn't see anything that indicated such a council exists today. I certainly might have missed something, though.

And trump could step down if elected to make her president. He would then have protection, because he doesn't trust Pence. That's maybe why he took her to the G20 meeting. Or he'll announce he won't be running after making a deal to step down, with Pence taking over . They have just filed suing trump for his taxes, so maybe the deal is he steps down in return for no more federal inventions, and she gets promoted to VP, but runs against Pence.

for it to catch this kind of attention. Anyway, I'd be happy if it were something along those lines. I sort of feel bad about that, like a teeny bit guilty for thinking this way. But that's how bad things have gotten. I actually would feel happy about bad news relative to the illegitimate one.

an active shooter.

Note: I have no idea if Pence was going to land there -- I just read this in a comment on another site.

POST UPDATE:

Pease AFB does seem to host senatorial and Presidential planes, and it is only 45 miles from Manchester, NH, where Pence was to speak. So it seems possible to me that his flight was to land there, and because of fear of an active shooter(which turned out to be false), his trip was canceled.

Still, I want to see Dump in real time.

Like the staff was dealing with Trump having yet another demented meltdown and threatening to do something awful, and they couldn't do anything with him. Either they thought it was time, or they thought the threat of imposing it would calm Dirty Donny down. Or Pence, as the next highest government official would be able to persuade him out of whatever it was.

None of us believe that he is an easy-going guy who takes advice from his staff!

I think MF45 got back to the WH and ofund out that Pence was heading to NH. He called him back because he does not want Pence campaigning in NH. I think he will dump Pence from the ticket. JMHO.
