NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Shortly after President Trump announced on Monday afternoon that he would be leaving Walter Reed Medical Center, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, "I spoke to the President a little while back, and he sounded great."
He added, "Karen and I just wanted to express our profound gratitude first to the incredible medical staff at Walter Reed Hospital and at the White House for the care, the concern that they've shown for this President and our First Family and all of those impacted on the White House staff."
Pence made the remarks prior to boarding Air Force 2, which was heading to Utah ahead of Wednesday night's vice presidential debate in Salt Lake City against Democratic challenger Sen. Kamala Harris.
Pence said the president "told me to head to Utah, and we're looking very much forward to the vice presidential debate."
