Vice President Mike Pence is expected to make a stop in Utah next week

Vice President Mike Pence is expected to appear in Utah next week, sources have confirmed to The Salt Lake Tribune.

At least three sources, speaking off the record, were aware of the planned visit.

Utah leaders said they had not received official confirmation of the trip, and few details are known.

Pence has long been more popular in Utah than the man he answers to — President Donald Trump. The vice president has often been praised by state leaders as their preferred side of the tandem, including by Gov. Gary Herbert, who got to know Pence when he was governor of Indiana.
