You may have heard about the so-called Republican in-fighting that is going on? Well, there is another conservative clash that is going on right now that you should probably be aware of.
Simply put, it's the battle of conservative 'think tanks', specifically the Heritage Foundation and the AAF (Advancing American Freedom) led by President Trump's former V.P. Mike Pence.
"The important thing for voters to know is that Heritage and AAF now have a very different vision for what the future of the Republican Party, and the future of the conservative movement will be" said columnist David Marcus, who wrote about it for Fox News.
The Heritage Foundation is more aligned with the MAGA movement, while the AAF is more in the middle.
"The Heritage vision is more in line with Trump and JD Vance, and the AAF is more in line with it's founder Mike Pence" Marcus told KTRH.
Or put another way, It's MAGA vs. RINO's, with both sides set to step it up before next year's midterms, and of course the next presidential election in 2028.
"That's what's going to play out in terms of the messaging, and I do think that voters over the next two cycles should expect that think tanks are going to be addressing them much more directly, the way that Charlie Kirk did with TPUSA, for example."
Add to that, the fact that there was a mass exodus at Heritage with several legal and economic experts joining the AAF, should provide even more drama ahead of next year's midterms.
