Vice President Mike Pence and others who participated in a school choice roundtable discussion In Wisconsin did not wear protective masks.
Pence was joined Tuesday by U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and parents and local education leaders for the event at Waukesha STEM Academy.
Pence said “school choice is an idea whose time has come.”
Last week, Pence published an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal saying the Trump administration’s efforts have strengthened the nation’s ability to counter the coronavirus and should be “a cause for celebration.”
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
Pence planned to launch a faith-centered tour later Tuesday in a different conservative Milwaukee suburb.
The dual visits in one week speak to Wisconsin’s importance in the presidential race. President Donald Trump carried the state by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016. Trump and Pence are visiting parts of Wisconsin that Trump won that year and where he must bolster that support this year if he hopes to beat Democrat Joe Biden.
