A conservative group backed by former Vice President Mike Pence has allocated $20 million to combat what it perceives as the rise of populism within the Republican Party. The American Solutions Project aims to uphold true conservative principles and thwart the influence of populist movements, particularly those inspired by former President Trump.
Pence emphasized the importance of preserving the conservative values upon which the nation was founded, stressing the enduring significance of the Constitution and American principles. He warned against the sway of movements and personalities that deviate from these foundational ideals.
Notable figures supporting Pence’s initiative include Heritage Foundation founder Ed Feulner, Catholic University Chairman Victor Smith, and North Carolina entrepreneur Art Pope. Pence’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, which lacked momentum, focused largely on criticizing his former boss, a strategy that failed to resonate with the party.

Despite his unsuccessful bid for the nomination, Pence continues to voice concerns about the direction of the GOP under Trump’s influence. He has criticized the politics of personal grievances and warned against straying from conservative principles in favor of populist sentiments.
Pence remains steadfast in his commitment to advancing American freedom and upholding conservative ideals. He believes that adhering to these principles is crucial for preserving the greatness of the United States and is confident that the American people will rally behind this cause. However, his previous campaign shortcomings suggest that his efforts may face challenges in gaining widespread support.
