    The Republican coalition changed dramatically during Donald Trump's
    presidency. We are no doubt still a party that supports lower taxes
    and less regulation, and President Trump's record in those areas was
    the strongest we have seen from a modern Republican president. But the
    party also focused more on issues impacting working-class families -
    expanding and improving the child tax credit, bringing more jobs home
    through fairer trade deals, and pushing back on the woke left's
    radical agenda that pits all of us against each other, including our
    kids.

    An important lesson of the Trump presidency was recognizing that the
    threats to our liberty do not solely come from the government. The
    modern GOP understands the importance of reining in unaccountable
    institutions and reducing the concentration of corporate power. The
    need for a shift away from previous conservative dogma is evident in
    the controversies we see in the news every day. Big corporations are
    flexing their muscles by censoring conservatives, threatening states
    that pass legislation the left doesn't like, and pushing racist,
    anti-American diversity, equity and inclusion programs on workers
    regardless of their political leanings. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
    and other Republican leaders are picking up where Trump left off in
    this regard, balancing the need to promote a robust economic climate
    with a recognition that Big Business doesn't always have our best
    interests at heart.
