Former Vice President Mike Pence has unveiled a new policy platform for Republicans ahead of this year’s midterms elections
The risks came into stark relief last month when Florida Sen. Rick Scott, another potential 2024 contender and the chair of the Senate Republicans' campaign arm,to"rescue America." The effort drew immediate criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans, particularly its call for all Americans to"pay some income tax to have skin in the game" — a move that would amount to a tax hike for millions of people who pay no income tax because they earn so little.
At a Republican Senate primary debate in Ohio on Monday, several of the candidates applauded Scott for his effort, even as they said they disagreed with parts of his plan. On immigration, Pence's agenda sounds much like a Trump press release. It calls on leaders to “oppose all forms of amnesty," typically defined as a path to citizenship for those who entered the country illegally, and seeks an end to what he calls “chain migration” by limiting family reunification to an immigrant's nuclear family. It also calls for promoting “the patriotic assimilation of immigrants” and finishing Trump’s border wall.
