Former Vice President Mike Pence is traveling to see the southern border and deliver a speech in Arizona on Monday, The Arizona Republic reported.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Carol Capas said Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels is expected to brief Pence in Sierra Vista, Ariz., at Cochise College on Monday morning, followed by a visit to a section of the border where the barrier wall ends, according to the news outlet.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) will be visiting the border with Pence.
The Arizona Commerce Authority will be hosting a crowd of invited attendees in Phoenix, where Pence is expected to make a speech later that day, the Republic reported.
Pence’s travel to Arizona comes as he eyes a potential bid for the White House in 2024. Earlier this year, the former vice president released a 25-point policy agenda calling for the wall along the U.S. southern border to be completed, among a number of other measures.
