INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Governor Mike Pence says he will complete his term as Indiana Governor before heading to Washington to become vice president.
Pence’s term expires 11 days before he’s sworn in as Donald Trump’s vice president, but there had been speculation that job might call him away earlier, especially since Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb will succeed him either way.
Pence says he’ll be traveling to New York and Washington a lot, but says he will not resign early.
Pence says he plans to “finish strong,” and leave a strong fiscal foundation for Holcomb to build on.
Pence and Holcomb met briefly with reporters after a closed-door Cabinet meeting.
The Vice President-Elect borrowed Holcomb’s slogan in praising him as a governor with the vision to take Indiana to the next level.
