Mystery still shrouds Vice President Mike Pences cancelled trip to New Hampshire Tuesday, an excursion for which he had already boarded Air Force Two before being called back to the White House.
According to the New York Times, a new rumor, though cryptic, has started circulating around the story. Pence was meant to travel to the Granite Recovery Center to deliver remarks on the opioid crisis. Multiple people told the Times that the cancellation was directly related to that site, information running in contradiction to the rampant speculation that some flavor of crisis at the White House required Pences immediate presence.
Mysteriously, Pences chief of staff Marc Short told reporters that theyd find out the details of the abrupt reversal in a few weeks.
The line echoed by both Pences office and the White House was that something forced Pence to stay in Washington, and that it was no cause for alarm.
