Former Vice President Mike Pence huddled with senior members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) on Tuesday to discuss conservatives’ agenda and the GOP’s path forward, The Hill reports. Pence, who previously served as the chairman of the RSC, told GOP lawmakers that he maintains a strong relationship with former President Donald Trump, and will play a role in defending the administration’s record moving forward, RSC Chairman Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana told reporters. Banks said he sees Pence playing a unifying role in the party moving forward as the GOP fights to take back the majority in Congress, and maintained, “Republicans are more unified than some are giving us credit for.”
