Overview

  • Mike Pence's political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, announces a $20 million American Solutions Project to emphasize traditional conservative values.
  • The initiative seeks to create a policy platform for conservative candidates, promote conservative laws, and protect principles like limited government and free trade.
  • The effort is a direct response to the conservative movement's shift towards populism, which Pence criticizes as being 'unmoored to conservative principles'.
  • Prominent figures such as former Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner and major conservative donor Art Pope have joined the initiative.
  • Pence, having withdrawn from the 2024 GOP presidential race, continues to advocate for conservative policies and oppose the populist direction of some party members.
