Pence refused to self-isolate after being exposed to several people who later tested positive for COVID-19 following the Rose Garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
The vice president has tested negative every day since, but depending on his exposure, he could still have the virus undetected in his system for several days before it would show up on a test.
He did not take questions before heading to Utah on Monday ahead of the debate, but said he was going there with Trump’s approval.
