Vice President Mike Pence no longer plans to attend the Supreme Court confirmation vote on Monday evening for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s third nominee to the nation’s high court since he took office in 2017.
Politico reports that Pence will keep to his campaign schedule, which has taken him to Minnesota and doesn’t plan to return to Washington, D.C., for the vote. “The VP is not planning to be at the Senate tonight unless his vote is needed,” an aide to Pence told the news agency. CNN has also reported an identical quote and attributed it to a Pence aide.
