Can't prove a negative. But Vance has not been taking charge of the Senate, and has been at other events instead.
Maybe your looking for sauce on how Vance could take control, if he chose to do so. That's in the US Constitution, Article 1 "The Legislature," Section 3 "The Senate," paragraph 4:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
In fact, Vance already has the power to be President of the Senate, whether Trump sends him or not.
But ... even if Vance goes to the Senate and exercises his Senate Presidential authority, he still can't unilaterally change its rules. The Senate has to vote for the rule changes. Thune has power over the Senate and its rules not because of his title but because he represents the votes of the majority of the senators who collectively can change their rules.
That's why the VP never does it, because it's not real power. The real power only comes from convincing the unruly senators to vote together, not from presiding over their unruly discussions and votes. Existing rules might give him some scheduling authority, but if he rocks the boat the senators can take even that authority away and give it to someone else and all he could do was preside over it happening.

The post came across as some kind of news must have come out that Trump is not sending / stopping Vance, so just wanted to check the context for this.
Other than that, this is a meaningless post I believe because Vance's job is to do tie breaking, and so far we haven't see anything that tied 50-50. Someone usually abstains making one side or both sides less than 50.
I believe if a bill reaches 50-50 and gets tied, Trump doesn't need to send Vance anywhere. Vance will do his job on his own.
He needs to actually be present for the vote, though.
Awhile back on GAW there were some posts about how the VP should theoretically be able to run the Senate. I looked it up then. The post is random, but I figured the topic was just doing the rounds again.
Can you post some sauce that "Trump is not sending Vance to the Senate" ?

Yeah usually they already know when a vote will be 50-50 and then VP can be present for that session
