Former Vice President Mike Pence rolls out new policy agenda for GOP leaders, candidates
CNN
Former Vice President Mike Pence has debuted a new conservative policy platform that aims to give Republicans a road map as they campaign for reelection this fall -- but it could also become his own platform should he run for president in 2024.
Pence's "Freedom Agenda," unveiled Thursday, features policy proposals that are in step with GOP economic orthodoxy -- from regulatory rollbacks to tax cuts -- along with his recommendations on issues such as school choice that he has spent decades focusing on as a congressman, governor and vice president. It also includes a range of broad policy recommendations on issues that Pence and former President Donald Trump brought to the forefront of the Republican Party during their administration: reining in Big Tech, confronting China, revitalizing American manufacturing and restoring so-called election integrity.
Pence described the platform as a "compelling vision" for GOP officeholders and candidates as they work to "keep America from further decline and decay," according to a press release shared Thursday by his group Advancing American Freedom.
