[UPDATE – 3:10pm PST]: An FEC filing *was* submitted today but Pence’s team is saying they didn’t do it. Details are still unclear, but here’s Pence’s response:
Pence team says it isn't real so I deleted my other tweet.
But it begs the question of who made a Mike Pence for President filing with the FEC today lol https://t.co/yrzRs602Sv
