Vice President Mike Pence Will Be Visiting Orlando on Wednesday
If you’ll be in the Orlando area this week you’ll want to be aware of this official visit. According to reports on ClickOrlando and in the Orlando Sentinel, Vice President Mike Pence is planning an official visit to Central Florida on Wednesday.
The trip is to meet with Governor Ron DeSantis to go over the details of Florida’s phased economic reopening. Reports suggest that Pence will also be delivering personal protective equipment to a nursing home as part of the initiative to supply over 15,000 nursing homes across the country with the essential equipment.
Pence is also expected to meet with hospitality and tourism industry leaders to discuss plans for re-opening. As of going to print, Disney’s theme parks remain closed to visitors. However, Disney is taking a preliminary first step in re-opening Disney Springs, the resort’s downtown shopping/dining on May 20th. Just this week, Disney unveiled a list of protocols that will need to be followed to ensure safety while visiting this area. Here’s a quick re-cap.
The announcement of Pence’s visit to the Sunshine State follows the news on Friday that Governor DeSantis will be moving the state toward a full Phase 1 reopening which will see gyms and restaurants open to 50% capacity.
This is the first visit Vice President Pence has made to Central Florida since January when he attended a “Latinos for Trump” campaign event. Pence also visited Orlando in September 2018 for a GOP event.
