• 📈 The Biden administration's collection of $150 billion more in taxes (tariffs) is seen as a negative economic indicator.
• 🇨🇳 While tough on China is supported, the focus should be on free trade as a principle for free nations.

• 🚔 He supports the president's use of authority to federalize the local police force and deploy the National Guard.
• 🛡️ Ensuring the safety of families and communities is a top priority, and resources should be provided to law enforcement.

The Future of Conservatism

• 🏛️ Pence emphasizes his commitment to less government and fewer taxes, core tenets of conservatism.
• 🇺🇸 He believes the Republican party should focus on articulating and advancing the conservative agenda rather than speculating on future leaders.
• 🌟 The principles of a strong national defense, American leadership, limited government, and traditional values define the party's best path forward.
