Former Vice President Mike Pence says the Republican Party will make beneficial properties within the 2024 election if it resists the present political developments embodied by former President Donald Trump.

Mr. Pence plans to drive the message residence Friday on the FreedomWorks’ Restore Liberty confab in Palm Beach, Florida. He will name on Republicans to face agency behind Ukraine, again modifications to entitlement packages, and never give an inch within the post-Roe battle over abortion.

“We need leaders with the courage to speak hard truths, and have faith that the American people will rally to our cause,” Mr. Pence will say, in response to speech excerpts. “We must resist the temptation to put what is popular over what is wise, and resist the politics of personality and the lure of populism unmoored to timeless conservative values.”

Mr. Pence is laying the groundwork for a presidential bid and is predicted to announce his plans over the approaching months. 

He has signaled his candidacy could be primarily based on strengthening the wedding between conventional conservatism and the insurance policies associated to frame safety, free commerce and China that Mr. Trump and the Make American Great Again motion popularized.

At the identical time, Mr. Pence is searching for to strike a fragile stability between celebrating the accomplishments of the Trump-Pence administration, whereas additionally convincing GOP main voters he's higher outfitted — each by way of demeanor and coverage imaginative and prescient — than Mr. Trump to guide the social gathering into the 2024 election.

“It’s becoming clearer every day that the upcoming Republican primaries will not just be a contest of candidates but a conflict of visions,” Mr. Pence will say. “One vision grounded in traditional Republican principles, and another vision driven by the promise of winning at the expense of our highest ideals.”

The Washington Times has requested the Trump marketing campaign for remark.

Mr. Pence says the GOP should rally behind the “Reagan Doctrine” and in opposition to the calls to push to chop protection spending coming from Mr. Biden and “some prominent Republicans.” 

As the chief of the free world, America should proceed to help Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, he says.

“Ukraine is willing to fight, so let’s give them the support they need to win, so we don’t have to fight ourselves,” he'll say.  “We don’t have to choose between prosperity at home and security abroad. Those who claim we do have a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth.”

Mr. Pence stated the social gathering needs to be upfront about the necessity to scale back the prices of the nation’s entitlement packages as a strategy to curb the nationwide debt and hold the packages fiscally solvent, distancing himself from each Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump.

“Joe Biden’s policy is insolvency. And sadly, other Republicans have echoed Biden’s pledge ‘not to touch’ Social Security,” he'll say. “I think we owe my three granddaughters better.”

Mr. Pence has his work reduce out for him if he jumps into the 2024 race. Perhaps the largest problem of all might be profitable over Trump loyalists who're poised to dominate the primaries.

Mr. Trump insists Mr. Pence might have achieved extra to cease the counting of electoral votes, thereby stopping Mr. Biden from assuming the presidency.

That declare, which has been rebutted by most students, and the previous president’s unrelenting assertion the 2020 election was stolen has harm the GOP on the poll field.

“If 2022 taught us anything, it’s that candidates who were focused on the challenges facing American families did well,” Mr. Pence will say. “But candidates focused on the past, on litigating the last election, did not do well.”
