Former Vice President Mike Pence is positioning himself as a constructive force for the conservative agenda during President Donald Trump's second term, willing to challenge him on certain issues. Despite their public fallout after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Pence stated he would support the new Trump administration on agreed-upon matters but challenge others.
Pence's political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, spent nearly $1 million on ads opposing Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing concerns about his stance on abortion rights.
