Vice President Mike Pence To Visit Ohio This Week

LORDSTOWN, OH — Vice President Mike Pence will visit Ohio on Thursday.

Pence is scheduled to attend the unveiling of the Lordstown Motors Electric Pickup Truck. He is expected to deliver remarks after the truck's debut.

The truck was originally going to be revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. However, that event was cancelled due to the threat of COVID-19. Lordstown Motors then announced in June it would hold an unveiling ceremony in Lordstown for media to attend.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, Pence will then take part in an event with police and community leaders. Details on that event have not yet been released.

The Lordstown Motors factory is still under construction, according to CEO Steve Burns. The company has also announced its first members of the board of directors.

As November's election approaches, Ohioans should expect more visits from Pence, President Donald Trump, Democratic nominee Joe Biden and surrogates for both parties.
