Republicans close to former Vice President Mike Pence say they don't know where the former second couple is now living.
Pence and his wife Karen haven't owned a home in a decade, and Indiana GOP sources say the former second couple is couch-surfing in the interim between jobs and residences.
"He doesn't have a home, he doesn't have anywhere to live," said one Trump advisor.
The speakers set up on the tarmac of the Columbus Municipal Airport belted out the Hoosier State's unofficial song "Back Home Again in Indiana" when Mike Pence landed there last week for the first time since he became a former vice president.
"I've already promised Karen we'll be moving back to Indiana come this summer," Pence told the assembled crowd in his hometown that's a little less than an hour's drive south of Indianapolis. "There's no place like home."
But careful Pence watchers couldn't help but notice he never said where "home" will be.
"He doesn't have a home, he doesn't have anywhere to live," one advisor to former President Donald Trump told Insider.
The Trump advisor is one of a dozen Republicans close with Pence's inner circle who were vexed that a former vice president of the United States now has neither a home nor a job. Some even wondered if the Pences are now couch-surfing.
According to one source, the Pences are staying at the dolled-up cabin nearby that the Indiana governor uses as a retreat. If so, they'd need permission to spend the night from Pence's former lieutenant governor, who now serves as governor, Eric Holcomb.
Two Republicans close to the Pences said they heard that the former second couple was staying at Pence's brother's place in Columbus.
The one thing everyone is certain of is that when the Pences moved out of the vice president's residence at the US Naval Observatory in Washington, they had nowhere to go. The former second couple doesn't actually own a house.
The Pences haven't owned a home in a decade. Domicile hopping, in fact, has long been part of their lives as Pence charted a course from conservative talk radio host to vice president of the United States.
In 1987, after a trip to see the local Republican kingmaker in Indianapolis, Mike and Karen Pence sold their modest single-family home near Butler University so they could move farther south into Indiana's then-Second Congressional District.
In 1999, after deciding to make his third and ultimately first successful run for Congress, the Pences moved again from Indianapolis. They bought a single family home about an hour's drive south in Edinburgh, Indiana, inside the redrawn boundaries of the state's Second District that he went on to represent.
After winning his 2000 race for Congress, the Pences lived in Washington for about a decade before returning fulltime to Indiana to run for governor. But instead of moving back to the Edinburgh home they had left a decade earlier, they rented in a ritzy enclave on the northeast side of Indianapolis.
Pence's financial disclosures filed when he was a congressman, show that he wasn't paying a mortgage from 2007 onward. However in 2008, Pence reported receiving rental income of at least $2,500 from a residence in Columbus, Indiana.
It's not clear when exactly they sold their Edinburgh residence.
