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