RNC releases its first GOP platform since 2016

The Republican National Committee released its official GOP platform for the 2024 presidential election on Monday, one week ahead of the convention in Milwaukee.

The new document shows a Trump-era makeover, right down to its use of all-caps headings in the style of the former president’s Truth Social posts. The process leading up to it was closely watched by conservatives, especially anti-abortion activists, after former President Donald Trump’s team made clear they planned to align its language with their candidate’s call to leave the issue primarily to the states.

The platform includes ten “chapters,” many of which focus on topics often mentioned by Trump — in section one, the RNC vows that it will “reverse” inflation by “unleash[ing] Energy Production,” securing the border, focusing on reducing international unrest, and reinstating his “Deregulation Policies.”
