Former Vice President Mike Pence is beginning to reemerge after the end of the Trump administration with the launch of a new group to counter the policies of the Biden administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress.

The former vice president has mostly kept out of public view since Inauguration Day, focusing mostly on some early work with conservative organizations and the arrival of a new grandchild. But on Wednesday, he launched Advancing American Freedom, an entity, he said in a statement, that would "promote the pro-freedom policies of the last four years that created unprecedented prosperity at home and restored respect for America abroad."

The new group will enable Pence to maintain his political profile and serve as his vehicle to help defend Trump-era policies. A senior aide said the former vice president is likely to focus especially on the Biden administration's evolving immigration and border security policies and the current president's proposal to raise corporate tax rates to pay for a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure plan.

"promote the pro-freedom policies of the last four years that created unprecedented prosperity at home and restored respect for America abroad."

Mike Pence has signed a two-book deal for his memoir that is reported to be worth millions of dollars, making him one of the first of former president Donald Trump’s inner circle to announce such a lucrative arrangement.

Pence’s autobiography, currently untitled, is scheduled to come out in 2023. CNN reported that the former vice-president’s deal is worth seven figures, somewhere between $3m and $4m.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell the story of my life in public service to the American people, from serving in Congress, to the Indiana governor’s office and as vice-president of the United States,” Pence said in a statement. “I look forward to working with the outstanding team at Simon & Schuster to invite readers on a journey from a small town in Indiana to Washington DC.”

Nobody who voted for Biden. None of the hardcore white supremacist Trumpanzees. Nobody in Indiana.

Are there that many idiot evangelicals?

PenceBot 3000 needed some hardware upgrades to support new firmware supporting the "Emotion" option.
There is still no timetable for when that firmware will be released, however.

I don't think so.

He's in a terrible place with his party.

The extreme right wing of the party believes he is a traitor for not somehow handing the election to Trump.

The moderate wing (is there still such a thing in the republican party?) doesn't trust him because of his virtually unwavering support and vocal admiration for TFG.

His only chance at a political future is to somehow justify his actions on Jan. 6 to the rwnj's and perhaps convince a few that his hands were tied and there was nothing he could do (which is true). And he must convince the moderates that he is a traditional republican.

Personally, I don't think he has a political future. He has all the charisma of a sack of oatmeal and he will be forever tainted with the Trump stench. And the right wing of the party will never forgive him.

Yeah, those adoring looks at his beloved leader will follow him forever.
