The Republican Party’s Big Problem

Heather Cox Richardson: “Therein lies the Republican Party’s problem. What are its reasonable and enduring policies? One of the reasons Biden keeps pressuring the party to release its budget is that it’s not at all clear what the party stands for.”

“Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) refused to issue any plans before the 2022 midterm election, and in 2020, for the first time in its history, the party refused to write a party platform. The Republican National Committee simply resolved that if its party platform committee had met, it ‘would have undoubtedly unanimously agreed to reassert the Party’s strong support for President Donald Trump and his Administration.’”
