(KYMA, KECY/ AP News) - Former Vice President Mike Pence and former President Donald Trump will hold dueling rallies in Arizona on Friday as they stump for rival candidates in the critical battleground state.

Days later, they will once again cross paths as they deliver major speeches on the same day in Washington.

The encounters mark a more confrontational phase in the fraught relationship between the former running mates who could soon find themselves competing against one another in the 2024 GOP presidential primary if they both ultimately choose to run.

This week, Pence endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson in Arizona’s Republican Gubernatorial primary, pitting himself against Trump who has endorsed opponent Kari Lake.
