🇺🇸 Pence unveils his ‘Freedom Agenda’ as he weighs 2024 run
Former US Vice President Mike Pence is offering his version of a “Freedom Agenda” platform for Republicans ahead of this year’s midterm elections, presenting a framework for GOP candidates — and possibly himself, for a 2024 presidential run.
Pence’s political platform brand, announced on Thursday, combines traditional Republican goals such as increasing American fossil fuel use, cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations, and rolling back regulations, with priorities pursued by former President Donald Trump on issues like the environment, social services, trade and immigration.
Much of the 28-page plan reads like the platform of a presidential campaign, underscoring Pence’s ambitions and providing a road map that he is likely to pursue if he moves forward with a 2024 run.
