Pence launched Advancing American Freedom, which he said would defend conservative values while pushing the Biden government’s agenda.
“Advancing American Freedom plans to build on the success of the past four years by promoting traditional conservative values and promoting the Trump administration’s successful policies,” Pence said in a statement. “Conservatives will not stand by as the radical left and the new administration will try to threaten America’s position as the greatest nation in the world with their destructive policies.”
The nonprofit advocacy group will be advised by several former Trump administration officials and prominent leaders in the Conservative movement. Kellyanne Conway
