Vice President Mike Pence is heading to Pittsburgh to throw his support behind third-term Republican Rep. Keith Rothfus's congressional campaign.
Pence will participate in an event at the airport for Rothfus, who's facing a tough challenge in November from Democrat Conor Lamb. The event is expected to begin at noon.
The boundaries of Pennsylvania's congressional districts are changing with Nov. 6 election. Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ordered new boundaries to replace the ones it ruled were unconstitutionally gerrymandered by Republicans.
The new 17th District is considered a tossup.
Pence's visit to Pittsburgh comes days after hundreds of protesters gathered in a Philadelphia park near a hotel where Pence was speaking at a fundraiser.
