Five Hours Later, No Explanation for 'VeepFlight'

Five hours after Vice President Mike Pence abruptly canceled his long-planned flight to New Hampshire and remained in Washington, D.C., neither the White House nor the vice president's office has offered any sort of explanation for the reversal that took official Washington by surprise.

"No causes for alarm," tweeted Pence spokeswoman Alyssa Farah. "Something came up that required the @VP to remain in Washington, D.C."

The White House simply told reporters neither Pence's health nor national security required the vice president to stay in Washington.
