JUST IN: Trump RNC Releases Official 2024 Platform, Details For Convention
With just a week until the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where former President Donald Trump is expected to be renominated as the Republican presidential candidate, the GOP has officially adopted a new platform that reinforces Trump’s deep influence on the party.
Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee announced the approval of the 2024 Republican Party Platform, a robust agenda that starkly contrasts with the “record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty” of the current administration under Joe Biden. The platform outlined Trump’s blueprint for his potential second term, with a return to his “America First” policies.
The platform accuses past politicians of selling out American interests through unfavorable trade deals and neglecting national security, contributing to a broad range of domestic issues. Trump’s 2024 platform is reminiscent of his 2016 campaign promises, focusing heavily on economic growth, job creation, and a revival of American manufacturing. Trump also blamed the Biden administration for a host of woes including “raging inflation, open borders, rampant crime,” and a decline in global stability.
Key promises in the 2024 GOP Platform included:
- Sealing the border and halting the “migrant invasion.”
- Carrying out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
- Ending inflation and enhancing affordability for Americans.
- Reclaiming the title as the top global energy producer.
- Transforming the U.S. into a manufacturing superpower, curtailing outsourcing.
- Implementing significant tax cuts for workers and eliminating taxes on tips.
- Defending constitutional rights including freedom of speech, religion, and gun ownership.
- Aiming to prevent global conflicts and promising to build a comprehensive missile defense system.
- Overhauling federal educational funding to exclude schools that promote what the GOP considers radical ideologies.
- Ensuring election security through measures like voter ID laws and same-day voting.
Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said, “President Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform articulates his vision to Make America Great Again in a way that is concise and digestible for every voter.”
“While Joe Biden and Democrats argue about who will be at the top of their ticket and have implemented policies that have raised prices on everyday families, opened the floodgates to migrant crime via wide-open borders, shackled American energy with red tape forced by Washington bureaucrats, and sewn chaos across the world through weak foreign policy, President Trump will Make America Great Again through these America First principles,” they finished.
“Only President Trump can restore our economy, restore our Southern Border, and restore America’s standing in the world,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump added. “His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again.”
The Trump campaign has also pinpointed Monday, July 15—the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee—as the date to unveil his choice for vice president. They plan to announce this just before the formal nomination process, taking advantage of the day’s events and the gathered party audience for maximum impact.
