Part 6/8:
Pence’s upcoming book, What Conservatives Believe, aims to reaffirm core conservative values such as strong defense, limited government, fiscal responsibility, traditional values, and the right to life. He expressed a concern that some within the party are moving away from these principles in favor of more isolationist or protectionist policies, including trade restrictions and immigration enforcement approaches.
He defended the Trump administration’s use of tariffs and border enforcement, emphasizing that these policies were aligned with conservative priorities and contributed to economic growth and national security. Pence suggested that the future of America depends on sticking to these foundational principles rather than shifting toward a more insular approach.
