President Trump, Vice President Pence and their team have been invaluable partners to Governor Holcomb as he leads the state through the COVID-19 Pandemic. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided Indiana with:
- $55.5 million in federal support
- 1.5 million N95 respirators
- 860,534 gloves
- 187,793 face shields
- 440,683 surgical masks
- 110 ventilators
- 43,300 swabs and 30,900 units of media for testing
President Trump and Vice President Pence have also delivered huge results for Indiana during this pandemic through the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP):
- The CARES Act is providing up to $2.6 billion in aid to Indiana.
- The PPP has provided more than $9.4 billion in loans to nearly 79,000 Indiana businesses.
- The third round of PPP is protecting 1 million Indiana jobs.
- More than 3.2 million Hoosiers have received Economic Impact Payments, totaling over $5.7 billion in aid.
Additionally, Vice President Pence led an education roundtable with Governor Holcomb, United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and other education leaders at Marian University. The panel discussed the need for schools to safely reopen to in-person instruction this fall and the actions the government is taking to ensure this is done.
The Vice President had a full day in the Hoosier state, with his first stop being an event supporting our attorney general nominee, Todd Rokita.
It's always a thrill to welcome Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence back home again to Indiana. They continue to serve our nation with honor, humility and grace. We couldn’t be prouder of how they represent Indiana on the global stage.
