By Yvonne Wingett Sanchez | The Republic

Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Phoenix on Wednesday, continuing his tour of the nation’s new coronavirus hotspots in an effort to calm growing concerns that leaders in Washington and Arizona have bungled their response to the crisis. 

Dr. Deborah Birx, a respected medical voice and member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, is accompanying Pence on his visit to the 2020 battleground state.
