(Bloomberg) – Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday launched an advocacy group to promote his agenda and defend the Trump administration’s record, a signal that he’s moving toward a 2024 presidential bid.

Pence also announced an advisory board of high-profile political and policy advisers, many of whom worked for Trump, including former counselor to the president, Kellyanne Conway; former director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow; and Seema Verma, who was Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Also Wednesday, another group of former senior White House aides set up the “America First Legal Foundation,” a conservative nonprofit committed to “combating the left’s radical and lawless agenda.” The group will be led by Trump’s former senior adviser Stephen Miller and includes former chief of staff Mark Meadows and Matthew Whitaker, who briefly served as acting attorney general under Trump.
