He will travel back to Washington, D.C. on Thursday evening.

The vice president visited Arizona in March to tout President Donald Trump's border emergency declaration to free up money to build a wall.

Pence singled out McSally and Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to support the declaration.

McSally came out in support of it. Sinema, however, backed a House-approved resolution to oppose the declaration.

On Wednesday, Air Force Two will land at Phoenix Sky Harbor at 5:10 p.m.

On Thursday, Pence will attend the Southwest Hispanic Leaders Roundtable at the First Baptist Church of Scottsdale, 7025 E. Osborn Road.

Air Force Two will arrive in Tucson at 11:05 a.m. Pence will then speak at Caterpillar's Tinaja Hills facility.
