2024 GOP PLATFORM: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!America needs determined Republican Leadership at every level of Government to address the core threats to our very survival: Our disastrously Open Border, our weakened Economy, crippling restrictions on American Energy Production, our depleted Military, attacks on the American System of Justice, and much more. ^^ To make clear our commitment, we offer to the American people the 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again! It is a forward-looking Agenda that begins with the following twenty promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican Majorities in the House and Senate.Dedication: To the Forgotten Men and Women of AmericaRepublican National CommitteeRNC_0feb1ede-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea00President Donald J. TrumpIn 2016, President Donald J. Trump was elected as an unapologetic Champion of the American People. He reignited the American Spirit and called on us to renew our National Pride. His Policies spurred Historic Economic Growth, Job Creation, and a Resurgence of American Manufacturing. President Trump and the Republican Party led America out of the pessimism induced by decades of failed leadership, showing us that the American People want Greatness for our Country again. Yet after nearly four years of the Biden administration, America is now rocked by Raging Inflation, Open Borders, Rampant Crime, Attacks on our Children, and Global Conflict, Chaos, and Instability. Like the Heroes who built and defended this Nation before us, we will never give up. We will restore our Nation of, by, and for the People. We will Make America Great Again. We will be a Nation based on Truth, Justice, and Common Sense. United States of AmericaCommon Sense tells us clearly, in President Trump’s words, that "If we don’t have a Border, we don't have a Country." Restoring sensible Border Security and Immigration Policy requires many steps, all of which would have been and indeed were taken for granted by prior Generations as obviously necessary and good. We must secure our Southern Border by completing the Border Wall that President Trump started. Hundreds of miles have already been built and work magnificently. The remaining Wall construction can be completed quickly, effectively, and inexpensively. We must also vigilantly check those who enter our Country by other routes and ensure that no one can enter our Country who does not have the Legal Right to do so, and we must deport the millions of illegal Migrants who Joe Biden has deliberately encouraged to invade our Country.PoliceWe will start by prioritizing the most dangerous criminals and working with local Police.CongressWe must not allow Biden's Migrant Invasion to alter our Country. It must not stand. Under the Trump Administration and a Republican Congress, it will be defeated immediately. Domestic ManufacturersCommon Sense tells us clearly that if we don't have Domestic Manufacturing with low Inflation, not only will our Economy -- and even our Military Equipment and Supplies -- be at the mercy of Foreign Nations, but our Towns, Communities, and People cannot thrive.American WorkersThe Republican Party must return to its roots as the Party of Industry, Manufacturing, Infrastructure, and Workers. President Trump’s economic policy to end Inflation and return Manufacturing Jobs is not only what the American Economy and American Workers need right now, it is also what they want right now.American Energy ProducersCommon Sense tells us clearly that we must unleash American Energy if we want to destroy Inflation and rapidly bring down prices, build the Greatest Economy in History, revive our Defense Industrial Base, fuel Emerging Industries, and establish the United States as the Manufacturing Superpower of the World. We will DRILL, BABY, DRILL and we will become Energy Independent, and even Dominant again. The United States has more liquid gold under our feet than any other Nation, and it’s not even close. The Republican Party will harness that potential to power our future.America's MilitaryCommon Sense tells us clearly that if we don't have a Strong Military, we won't be able to defend our interests and we will be at the mercy of Hostile Nations. The Policy of the Republican Party must be to ensure that America's Military is the strongest and best-equipped in the World -- and that our Government uses that great strength sparingly, and only in clear instances where our National Interests are threatened.Justice SystemCommon Sense tells us clearly that the Republican Party must stand for Equal Treatment for All. Likewise, the Republican Party must ensure the equal application of law to all regardless of political affiliation or personal beliefs. Recent Democrat-led political persecutions threaten to destroy 250 years of American Principle and Practice and must be stopped.America united, confident, and committed to our principles_0feb2064-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea00To Make America Great Again!_0feb212c-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea00TruthJusticeCommon SenseLeadershipAmerica needs determined Republican Leadership at every level of Government to address the core threats to our very survival: Our disastrously Open Border, our weakened Economy, crippling restrictions on American Energy Production, our depleted Military, attacks on the American System of Justice, and much more.Inflation & PricesDefeat inflation and bring down prices_0feb2172-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001DEFEAT INFLATION AND QUICKLY BRING DOWN ALL PRICES ~ Our Commitment: The Republican Party will reverse the worst Inflation crisis in four decades that has crushed the middle class, devastated family budgets, and pushed the dream of homeownership out of reach for millions. We will defeat Inflation, tackle the costof-living crisis, improve fiscal sanity, restore price stability, and quickly bring down prices. Inflation is a crushing tax on American families. History shows that Inflation will not magically disappear while policies remain the same. We commit to unleashing American Energy, reining in wasteful spending, cutting excessive Regulations, securing our Borders, and restoring Peace through Strength. Together, we will restore Prosperity, ensure Economic Security, and build a brighter future for American Workers and their families. Our dedication to these Policies will make America stronger, more resilient, and more prosperous than ever before.EnergyUnleash American Energy_0feb21b8-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001.1Under President Trump, the U.S. became the Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World -- and we will soon be again by lifting restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist Green New Deal. Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy.SpendingRein in Wasteful Federal Spending_0feb21fe-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001.2Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.RegulationsCut Costly and Burdensome Regulations_0feb2244-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001.3Republicans will reinstate President Trump's Deregulation Policies, which saved Americans $11,000 per household, and end Democrats' regulatory onslaught that disproportionately harms low- and middle-income households.Illegal ImmigrationStop Illegal Immigration_0feb228a-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001.4Republicans will secure the Border, deport Illegal Aliens, and reverse the Democrats' Open Borders Policies that have driven up the cost of Housing, Education, and Healthcare for American families.Strength & PeaceRestore Peace through Strength_0feb22da-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea001.5War breeds Inflation while geopolitical stability brings price stability.

We will complete the Border Wall, shift massive portions of Federal Law Enforcement to Immigration Enforcement, and use advanced technology to monitor and secure the Border. We will use all resources needed to stop the Invasion -- including moving thousands of Troops currently stationed overseas to our own Southern Border. We will deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our Region -- boarding and inspecting ships to look for fentanyl and fentanyl precursors. Before we defend the Borders of Foreign Countries, we must first secure the Border of our Country.Immigration LawsEnforce Immigration Laws_0feb24ce-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea002.2Republicans will strengthen ICE, increase penalties for illegal entry and overstaying Visas, and reinstate "Remain in Mexico" and other Policies that helped reduce Illegal Immigration by historic lows in President Trump’s first term. We will also invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members from the United States, ending the scourge of Illegal Alien gang violence once and for all. We will bring back the Travel Ban, and use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their Home Countries immediately.DeportationsBegin Largest Deportation Program in American History_0feb251e-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea002.3President 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.

We will require local cooperation with Federal Immigration Enforcement.Legal ImmigrationEnsure Our Legal Immigration System Puts American Workers First_0feb2618-3e6f-11ef-8987-aab82a83ea002.6American WorkersRepublicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those admitted to our Country contribute positively to our Society and Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources.

The only thing holding them back is the suffocating policies of the Democrat Party.

Together, we will restore Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for all Americans.RegulationsSlash regulations that stifle jobs, freedom, innovation and make everything more expensive_51443642-3f03-11ef-85da-60b50883ea003.1Cut Regulations ~ Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive.

We will bring our critical Supply Chains back home. President Trump turned American Trade Policy around, protecting U.S. Producers, and renegotiating failed agreements.EnergyIncrease energy production_51443fc0-3f03-11ef-85da-60b50883ea003.4Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy ~ Republicans will increase Energy Production across the board, streamline permitting, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal.
