It’s that time of the political cycle again, folks! With the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee just a week away, the GOP has officially rolled out its red carpet in the form of the 2024 platform. And, as expected, it’s got former President Donald Trump’s fingerprints all over it, promising a return to his “America First” policies with a dash of 2016 nostalgia.
Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of what Trump and his loyalists are cooking up this time around. Spoiler alert: it’s a hefty menu designed to satisfy even the most voracious conservative appetites. The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee announced the approval of a platform that aims to starkly contrast with what they describe as the “record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty” under Joe Biden’s administration.
First on the docket is Trump’s signature promise to seal the U.S. borders tighter than a drum. The platform calls for a grand plan to halt the so-called “migrant invasion,” coupled with what could be the largest deportation operation in American history.
If you’re feeling the pinch at the pump or the grocery store, Trump’s platform vows to end inflation and enhance affordability for Americans. This includes reclaiming the title of the top global energy producer—a nod to the good ol’ days of energy independence. He also plans to transform the U.S. into a manufacturing superpower, aiming to bring back factory jobs like it’s 1950 all over again.
Economic promises don’t stop there. The platform aims to implement significant tax cuts for workers and, in a particularly bold move, eliminate taxes on tips. That’s right, servers and bartenders, your hard-earned tips might just be safe from Uncle Sam’s grasp.
Trump’s vision also includes a full-throttle defense of constitutional rights, emphasizing freedom of speech, religion, and gun ownership. It’s a surefire way to light up the freedom-loving hearts of his base.
On the global stage, Trump promises to prevent conflicts and build a comprehensive missile defense system. It’s essentially a pledge to transform the U.S. into the superhero of geopolitics—think Captain America, but with more missiles and fewer spandex suits.
Here is a list of the key promises in the 2024 GOP Platform included:

Senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles assure us that this platform is “concise and digestible” for every voter, while RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump declare it a roadmap to undo Biden’s policies and lead Trump to a historic victory.
As the convention kicks off on July 15, expect fireworks—not just the metaphorical kind—because Trump’s 2024 platform is here, and it’s ready to make some noise.
