Is Pence back in the Trump Administration?
America is at a pivotal moment. With President Donald Trump beginning his second term, conservatives across the country are looking for strong leadership that upholds the values that made this nation great.
One organization leading the charge is Advancing American Freedom (AAF), founded by former Vice President Mike Pence. This influential group is committed to protecting traditional American values, strengthening the economy, and standing up for national security.
But AAF is also making waves by taking an independent stance—supporting conservative policies while keeping a critical eye on issues like government overreach and economic missteps.
Fighting for Conservative Principles Amid Political Shifts
While many on the right blindly follow political trends, Advancing American Freedom is staying true to its foundational conservative beliefs.
The organization recently made headlines by publicly opposing the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services—citing deep concerns about his stance on abortion. AAF remains firm: No pro-abortion nominee should hold a position of power.
“Our goal is not to be adversarial, but to be independent,” says Tim Chapman, President of AAF. “We want to strengthen this administration by upholding the principles that have always defined conservatism.”
Pence Takes a Stand on Economic Policy
One of AAF’s biggest concerns? The impact of government tariffs on American families.
Last week, Pence pushed back on Trump’s proposed tariffs, showing how the stock market suffered under these policies.
📉 The numbers don’t lie—During the first Trump-Pence administration, the S&P 500 soared, thanks to pro-business policies and deregulation. Now, with tariffs returning, economic uncertainty looms.
“The Trump-Pence economic policies—without broad-based tariffs—worked for America before and will again,” Pence stated, emphasizing the need for pro-growth policies.
Standing for National Security and America’s Strength
National security is non-negotiable for true conservatives. In a recent speech in North Palm Beach, Florida, Pence delivered a powerful warning about Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
“If Vladimir Putin overruns Ukraine, he won’t stop there. He will challenge the West, and our troops will be the ones forced to respond,” Pence warned.
America must stand strong and lead with strength—just as President Ronald Reagan did during the Cold War.
Defending Trump’s Conservative Achievements
While AAF is critical on some issues, it remains a staunch defender of Trump’s most successful policies.
🔹 Last week, AAF endorsed a major initiative led by the Republican Study Committee (RSC) to cement Trump’s executive orders into federal law—ensuring they cannot be undone by future liberal administrations.
🔹 Paul Teller, AAF’s Executive VP, summed it up:
“Let’s put into law the policies that shrink government, cut wasteful spending, and stop regulations from choking American businesses.”
A Warning for Conservatives: Stay Focused on the Bigger Picture
Chapman warns that some conservatives are getting caught up in short-term political battles and losing sight of long-term priorities.
“There’s an unwillingness in Washington to challenge policies, but that doesn’t mean independent conservative voices should stay silent,” Chapman explained.
🚨 The message is clear: Now, more than ever, conservatives must fight for the principles that made America great.
