Pence to be in Gordonsville on Wednesday

https://www.cbs19news.com/story/41959452/vice-president-pence-to-be-in-gordonsville-wednesday

LOUISA COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- During the daily coronavirus briefing at the White House, Vice President Mike Pence announced he will be in Gordonsville on Wednesday.

Pence said he will be at the Walmart Distribution Center with Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.

He says he will be going there, "so the American people can see first hand that the food supply is continuing to roll on 18 wheels and through air freight all over America."

CBS19 will be there on Wednesday to bring you the latest.


In November he was in Central Virginia (Louisa) and he was met with protestors.
