Mike ter Maat Announces Historic Bid to Change How VP Nominees Are Chosen | 08-01-26 | We invite all Liberty-Loving Americans to join with us to restore the principles of our Founding Fathers and promote God, Family, and Country in the media and our lives!

In this FreedomFest interview, Sam Bushman sits down with Mike ter Maat, an economist and entrepreneur, as he prepares to make a bold announcement: a two-year campaign for the Republican vice presidential nomination, something never attempted in the party's history. Mike Ter Maat lays out his plan to unify the GOP by adding a liberty movement voice to the ticket and to hand the VP selection to national delegates instead of the presidential nominee. The conversation covers party politics, the role of an independent-minded VP, and even a lighthearted pitch to bring Sam onto the campaign as media liaison.
