Former Vice President Mike Pence has canceled his Monday visit to Myrtle Beach due to a “family matter”, according to his press agent.
MyrtleBeachSC News has learned the matter involves the soon and expected birth of a grandchild.
Pence first expected to meet in North Charleston with North Charleston Police Chief Reggie Burgess and other members of law enforcement during a roundtable discussion Monday afternoon at North Charleston City Hall.
But organizers said Monday morning that the former vice president had to cancel the event due to what they said was an “unexpected family matter.”
Pence also canceled a scheduled stop to speak with businesses in Myrtle Beach.
