Vice President Mike Pence is about to embark on a cross-country summer campaign tour just weeks after filing paperwork to establish his own campaign committee. He has claimed it is just about fundraising for loyal Republican candidates in 2018 but many speculate whether its about building his own war chest.
Pence is bouncing around Midwestern battleground states and conservative footholds like Georgia where a special election has Republicans running scared, according to Politico. But the trip comes as his boss is being crushed under the weight of scandals.
He has an appetite to fight so hes going to get out there and fight on the presidents behalf, longtime Pence strategist Nick Ayers told Politico.
It is not unusual for vice presidents to campaign while the president is leading the country. Former Vice President Joe Biden famously traveled to every corner of the country to raise money for Democratic candidates. However, few vice presidents serve under a leader navigating a significant influx of investigations.

(25,241 posts)wasn't he the head of the transition team? He's got to be in this up to his neck as well. I guess we'll have to rely on Mueller and/or the FBI to know.
Anyway - who wants to continue throwing good money after bad? You mean to tell me their are people out there still willing to contribute to this campaign?
