That’s because his political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), is looking to raise a whopping $18 million. Additionally, as Axios points out, the AAF has “spent about $60,000 on digital ads promoting [Pence] and asking for contributions.” The outlet also notes that Pence has been attending political events in swing states.
