Vice President Mike Pence’s New Hampshire event on Tuesday has been canceled as he has been called back to the White House.
Pence had been scheduled to land in Manchester around 11:25 a.m., which is about the time the news broke that his event had been called off.
A spokesperson for the vice president originally said Air Force 2 was turned around due to an “emergency” but one of the people organizing the New Hampshire event has since clarified that it was a “diversion” and not an emergency.
No further information was immediately available.
Pence’s one-day trip was to include a meeting with alumni and former patients at the Granite Recovery Center headquarters in Salem. Afterward, he was scheduled to speak about New Hampshire’s opioid crisis.
He had originally been scheduled to return to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night.
