A well-funded new group formed by former senior aides to then-President Donald Trump launched today with the goal of permanently fusing the ex-President s America First agenda with the Republican Party.
The newly minted nonprofit is called the America First Policy Institute and boasts a staff of 35 former Trump aides, including former Cabinet secretaries, top national security advisers and members of the former President s evangelical advisory board.
The group s launch was first reported by Axios.

A constellation of Trump administration stars today will launch the America First Policy Institute, a 35-person nonprofit group with a first-year budget of $20 million and the mission of perpetuating former President Trump s populist policies.
Why it matters: Two top Trump alumni tell me AFPI is by far the largest pro-Trump outside group, besides Trump s own Florida-based machine.
In the coming months, the group plans to take a large office space near the U.S. Capitol as a symbol that it ll fight to be a muscular, well-heeled center of the future of conservatism.
