The Republicans have officially adopted their party platform ahead of the 2024 US election, aligning closely with Donald Trump. The platform, which spans 16 pages, showcases a moderate approach on contentious issues like abortion, leaving decisions to individual states to avoid alienating voters. Trump's strategy also includes a bold announcement of the 'largest deportation campaign in American history,' alongside promises to reverse inflation by reducing regulations on fossil fuels and limiting restrictions on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies.
In light of an assassination attempt on Trump, both the Republican and Democratic parties are recalibrating their campaign strategies. Trump plans to deliver a message of unity at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, a shift from his typical combative rhetoric. His campaign is expected to focus on themes of courage and resilience, with an emphasis on national unity reminiscent of past leaders like Ronald Reagan. This change comes as the Biden campaign also reevaluates its approach, seeking to balance criticism of Trump with messages of condolences and unity in response to the violence.
