Pence in Ohio: US economy bouncing back

LORDSTOWN (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence says the nation’s economy is rebounding well from the coronavirus pandemic.

Pence says most states are now seeing their cases stabilize or decline.

He says the positive signs are outweighing the rising outbreaks in several southern U.S. states.

Those outbreaks are causing some states and companies to pull back their reopening plans as measures indicate the virus is making a comeback.

Pence was in Ohio on Thursday for the unveiling of a new electric pickup truck that will be built by a start-up company near Youngstown. The truck will be made at a former General Motors factory closed last year.
