Pence-aligned group's president: Republicans won't fall in line behind Trump forever

(The Hill) The president of an advocacy group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence praised President Trump’s 2024 election victory in a new interview but argued that Republicans will not fall in line behind the commander in chief forever.

Advancing American Freedom (AAF) President Tim Chapman stated Trump is “at the height of his influence and power” within the GOP, and it will be harder to discover dissent during the early stages of his second administration.

But, he said, that might not be a “permanent environment” with various factions being part of the coalition the president forged during his recent Oval Office run.

“This is not like a cakewalk. The administration has massive challenges in front of it, and I think, to their credit, they’ve built a very large coalition, but within that coalition, there are very diverse elements. You just start to think through the issues that they’re going to face,” Chapman said in his interview with The Washington Post that was published Friday morning.
