MAGA figures, including the president’s eldest son, have already resorted to insulting their own party members.
Mike Pence is poaching top names from the Heritage Foundation, of Project 2025 infamy, as he scales up another political comeback.
Pence, 66, is building up his own think tank, Advancing American Freedom, which will oppose tariffs, isolationism, and “big-government populism,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
The friend-turned-foe of Donald Trump said his group will stop propping up MAGA figures like Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who lacks a medical background, and will push to strengthen support of Ukraine.
Republican politicians have no principles, and Mike Pence is no different. This is a power play to develop a base of support so he can negotiate a better position for himself when he gets brought back into the fold.
