Former Vice President Mike Pence has launched a $20 million budget to build an organization meant to defend the sentiment that conservatism, when properly defined, “is bigger than any one moment, election, or person,” RealClearPolitics reported.
According to Pence, the mission of his group would be Advancing American Freedom, as they launch what they call the “American Solutions Project.”
Pence is expanding his operation, hiring new staff, and bringing on faces familiar to the conservative movement. Ed Feulner, founder and former president of the Heritage Foundation, will join the AAF board.
“Our nation was founded on conservative principles that have stood the test of time. The Constitution and this great American experiment must not be swayed by movements or personalities, but must hold fast to the time-honored principles that have made America strong and prosperous and free,” Pence said in a statement to RCP.
According to Pence, his organization will “hold high those principles, staying true to the ideals that have made America the greatest nation on earth and I know the American people will rally to our cause.”
News of the project comes on the eve of the South Carolina primary, as Trump closes in on a third GOP nomination.
As the elections are approaching, Ukraine has quickly become a bone of contention among the new and old GOP.
House Republicans are now refusing to sign off on President Biden’s request to send billions in aid to Kyiv unless the White House commits to additional security on the U.S. southern border.
