Vice President J.D. Vance has canceled a planned visit to Arizona on Monday, according to the Arizona Republican Party.
Arizona Republican Party Chairman Sergio Arellano had announced Vance’s visit in a press release on Friday, saying the vice president would speak in Oro Valley, a suburb north of Tucson, on Monday morning.
Arellano had not shared the reason for Vance’s visit but did note “he has been very involved in helping to elect solid Republicans across the country.”
Oro Valley is located in CD6, one of the most competitive congressional districts in the country that could determine which party controls the House of Representatives next year. Republican Congressman Juan Ciscomani is running for reelection against Democrat Joanna Mendoza and several third party challengers.
