Mike Pence is laying the groundwork for a party that could move on after the election from Donald Trumpâs populism and protectionism.

Pence is reaching out to his partyâs more hawkish and interventionist wing, while harmonizing with free traders and criticizing tariffs.

His group Advancing American Freedom (AAF) is trying to be the GOPâs âconscience of sorts, as the organization president Tim Chapman put it.

Advancing American Freedom is at odds with many of Trumpâs current positions.

The dynamics between Trump and Pence could spark party infighting next year if Trump wins.

Itâs harder to see where Pence and his group will go if Trump loses.

Thereâs pent-up angst over the partyâs policy direction on foreign and economic policy.
