Former Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly launching a super PAC to support his anticipated candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 election. The PAC, called Advancing American Freedom, will be co-chaired by GOP consultant Scott Reed, former Texas Representative Jeb Hensarling, and Bobby Saparow, former campaign manager for Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, while Michael Ricci, former communications director for Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, will oversee the communications efforts.
The group aims to reintroduce Pence to voters and to occupy the “constitutional conservative” lane, targeting voters who may be undecided or disenchanted with other candidates. It will invest heavily in Iowa, the state where the first Republican primaries are held and viewed by the PAC as critical to create momentum for any candidate looking to unseat former President Donald Trump.
However, Pence will face a formidable challenge should he decide to run, as he will have to contend with his former running mate, Trump. Reports said that Pence would contrast himself with Trump, highlighting their policy differences on support for Ukraine and entitlement reform.
The new PAC’s primary focus would be the early-voting Iowa, where Pence will likely garner much support from the state’s voters’ strong evangelical roots that have long played a significant role in Republican primaries. The group will also expand its organizing and fundraising efforts to other states such as New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
The Advancing American Freedom PAC will also promote conservative policies and values, including efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic, strengthen national defense, oppose critical race theory, and expand economic opportunities.
In conclusion, former Vice President Mike Pence’s upcoming presidential campaign will set him against his former running mate, Donald Trump, who has declined to say whether he will run for re-election. Pence’s super PAC, Advancing American Freedom, aims to reintroduce the ex-Vice President to voters and occupy the “constitutional conservative” lane, targeting those who might be undecided or disenchanted with other candidates. The PAC will focus extensively on Iowa, where Pence is expected to win support from the state’s conservative and evangelical voters.
