Mike Pence has been residing in public housing for the past eight years and is now homeless!

From the Independent - This made me laugh.

Former vice president Mike Pence, who was thrust into the spotlight during the last days of Donald Trump’s presidency, does not have a permanent place to live in since leaving his official residence at the US Naval Observatory in Washington, according to reports.

Though in his farewell address Mr Pence announced moving back to his home state Indiana in summer, he offered no details on the specifics of where he would move with his wife, Karen Pence. And now, the former second couple is “couch-surfing" at the residences of various officials in Indiana, reported Business Insider.

A source told the news portal, that the Pences are staying at a cabin that Indiana governor, Eric Holcomb, uses as a retreat, while two republicans close to the former vice-president said that Mr Pence and his wife were staying at Pence’s brother’s place in Columbus.

Mr Pence, who grew up in Columbus, hasn't owned an Indiana home for at least the past eight years, reported Associated Press. Elected as Indiana Congressman from 2001 to 2013, and the governor of the state from 2013 to 2017, Mr Pence lived at the Indiana governor's residence in Indianapolis before moving to the vice presidential residence on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory in Washington in 2017.


Pence's are couch surfing!

Maybe he lied to the landlord about some damages he had done.

Plus, if it turns out the same as for most Americans his age that are fired or laid off, he'll have trouble finding work. Perhaps his wife can pick up some work cleaning homes or waiting tables.

Is that typical? I would think you'd keep that so you would have a permanent residence. How does he have a valid driver's license? How did he register to vote?
