MAGA factions 'fighting for control' as Trump 'smells like a lame duck': former RNC spox

Former Vice President Mike Pence's think tank, Advancing American Freedom (AAF) has lately been poaching officials from the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Mike Pence expresses 'admiration' for 'ex-MAGA Granny' who refused Trump pardon

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday praised someone who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection because she refused to accept a pardon from President Donald Trump.
