Pence heads to Florida for fundraiser and meeting with Gov. DeSantis
On his second full day in charge of the administration’s response to the coronavirus, Vice President Pence is heading to Florida, where he will address the conservative Club for Growth’s Annual Economic Conference before attending a fundraiser for congressional Republicans in Longboat Key.
In between, he plans to meet with Gov. Ron Desantis (R) for 45 minutes to discuss the government’s response to the growing coronavirus health threat, according to his daily schedule. A senior administration official said Thursday that Pence plans to continue his heavy campaign schedule, which has often included trips to two battleground states each week, while serving as the government’s point person on the coronavirus.
Pence announced Thursday that while he is in charge of the administration’s response, Ambassador Debbie Birx will serve as White House response coordinator for the virus and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar will continue to serve as chairman of the existing task force focused on containing its spread.
The Tampa Bay Times reported that it will cost $2,500 to attend the fundraiser, $5,000 to take a picture with Pence and $25,000 to attend dinner with the vice president.
