Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Florida to meet with officials but the trip will no longer include campaign events, as the state sees CCP virus cases spike in recent days.

CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases rose on June 26 to 9,636, according to data from the Florida Department of Health. The state now has 132,545 cases of infection, including 14,136 hospitalizations, and 3,390 deaths as of Saturday.
