A vote by the RNC to leave the party’s 2016 party platform unchanged ahead of the election has infuriated grass-roots activists — including moderates who wanted to streamline its message & social conservatives who sought added language on hot-button topics
A vote by the Republican National Committee to leave the party’s 2016 party platform unchanged ahead of the November election has infuriated grassroots activists — including moderates who wanted to streamline its message and social conservatives who sought added language on emerging hot-button topics.
But when plans to shrink the bloated platform fell through, the only suitable alternative in her view was to proceed with platform deliberations, which typically occur in the week or two prior to the party’s nominating convention. At the same time, positions contained in the 2016 platform on abortion, education, marriage, LGBT rights and family structure could further alienate suburban voters and women. Those demographics abandoned the GOP in droves during the 2018 midterms and the Trump campaign has invested significant resources to try to win them back.
The move will also prevent Trump and his team from highlighting accomplishments such as bipartisan criminal justice reform that would normally appeal to broad swaths of voters. “Anything positive that the Trump administration has achieved in the last three years can’t be put into this document now because this document is frozen," Williams said.
The Trump campaign disputed that the document in its current form would present issues for the president’s reelection campaign. In a statement to POLITICO, senior counsel Justin Clark said, “President Trump won in 2016 with this platform and he’ll win again in 2020 with this platform.” On Monday, the organization sent a letter to Trump and RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel warning that “demolishing the platform will result in devastating division within the party.” But after learning of the party’s decision on Wednesday, Holcomb thanked the committee’s executive panel “for forgoing revision until a time when the full democratic process can be assured.”
