Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence has reportedly canceled plans to attend a fundraiser scheduled in New Jersey on Monday, further stoking rumors about turmoil brewing between Pence and Donald Trump. News of the cancelation was first reported Sunday night, as Trump duked it out with Hillary Clinton in the second presidential debate and admitted he and Pence disagreed with regards to Syria.
No explanation was offered for Pence's change of plans. However, the cancelation came a day after Pence released a statement saying he was "offended" by Trump's remarks about seducing women, made in a video from 2005 that was released Friday. "I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them," Pence said Saturday.
