AUSTIN, Texas — President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are still on their re-election campaign and Pence is making a stop in Central Texas Tuesday.
Pence spent a few hours at Forth Hood with armed service members before he rounded off his trip in Austin.
First up on his agenda was to watch a training exercise on the Army base. After that, he participated in a veteran transition roundtable. There, he was able to create an open dialogue for these service members.
The vice president thanked the service members for their service during his speech.
Pence touched on the news of the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdad, adding that it made him "proud to be an American" when he watched special forces take him down.
"Our troops, as the president said, are incredible," Pence said. "By taking out the leader of ISIS, we've made measurable progress against terrorism."
The trip in Killeen wraps up after Pence's closing remarks before he flies into Austin's airport.
In Austin, Pence will speak at a campaign fundraising luncheon at an undisclosed location before flying back to Washington.
It's important to note that there are no public events scheduled in Austin for Pence's visit, but drivers should expect some delays as the vice president makes his way across the city.
