The Republican National Committee on Monday embraced former President Donald Trump's 2024 Republican Party election platform to back his bid to return to the White House, placing a strong emphasis on the issues of border security and inflation that voters have said are top of mind while adapting its stance on abortion for the first time in four decades to recognize the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
“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 said in a statement.
Trump and RNC Chairman Michael Whatley jointly announced the party's platform committee had approved a 20-plank platform leading with promises to "seal the border and stop the migrant invasion," "carry out the largest deportation operation in history," and "end inflation and make America affordable again."
"President Trump and Republicans will reverse the Democrats’ destructive Open Borders Policies that have allowed criminal gangs and Illegal Aliens from around the World to roam the United States without consequences," the platform stated. "The Republican Party is committed to sending Illegal Aliens back home and removing those who have violated our Laws."
It also includes vows that the GOP would complete the border wall, end federal funding for sanctuary cities, and prioritize "merit-based immigration."
On the economy front, the platform furthers the campaign's embrace of cryptocurrency, vowing to " defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control." It further expressed opposition to the creation of a central bank digital currency.
The platform further called for making permanent the 2017 tax cuts and for cutting federal regulations.

Well folks, now you see the priority the Republican Party is placing on Election Integrity. Yup, next to last of their 20 objectives.
Well folks, you might as well kiss the opportunity for Trump to win or to make gains in the House and Senate goodbye, when your GOP BETTERS do not give a hoot about Election Integrity.
“...next to last...”
gaslight
Do you seriously believe those items were listed in a priority order? If so, please show us where you see that prioritization stated by the folks that made the list. I must have missed it....
How are they to enjoy Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? They don't count?
Either stand for truth or sit in shame.
“””The Republican National Committee on Monday embraced former President Donald Trump’s 2024 Republican Party election platform to back his bid to return to the White House, placing a strong emphasis on the issues of border security and inflation”””
It was in the first sentence.
"Updating"???
"Weakening" would be more like. Or "exhibiting pusillanimous conduct in the face of the enemy".
I’m guessing because the SC left it to the states, no longer federal.
Sounds great. I don’t see the extend tax cuts portion - enacting a large tax cut for workers - is not the same thing.
So vote for biden then, now is the time to back Trump or it’s over.
It's obvious that you should run for President because of your unyielding virtue-signaling and your superior political acumen.
Where do I send my campaign contributions?
Should it be a 100 point platform, a 1000? It’s either Trump or the country is over. Are you going to vote for biden then?
“””Do you seriously believe those items were listed in a priority order? If so, please show us where you see that prioritization stated by the folks that made the list. I must have missed it....”””
And you might want to read-—Where the RNC made no mention of election integrity.
Do you disagree with my assessment? Do you think elective abortion is an acceptable practice?
Are you capable of debating issues, or are you limited to personal attacks?
The Wolfe Amendments to the platform:
21. END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
22. REPEAL THE HART-CELLER IMMIGRATION ACT OF 1965
23. GET THE U.S. OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND NATO
24. AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
25. DOWNSIZE ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (CIA, DOJ, FBI, IRS, DHS, STATE DEPARTMENT, ETC.)
The SC ruled it’s a states issue.
the southern boarder is a loss unless the US starts dropping them like they are hot
No.
