WASHINGTON (AP) � Former Vice President Mike Pence has undergone surgery to have a pacemaker implanted.

His office says that Wednesday’s operation in Virginia went well and that Pence “is expected to fully recover and return to normal activity in the coming days.�

The 61-year-old former vice president had previously been diagnosed with a heart condition called asymptomatic left bundle branch block.

His office says he experienced symptoms over the past two weeks that are associated with a slow heart rate.

Pence is considered a likely 2024 presidential candidate if former President Donald Trump declines to run.
