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.
