Top advisers to Donald Trump are working on a significant overhaul of the Republican Party platform, aiming to streamline its size and refocus it around the former president's agenda for a potential second term. A memo from Trump campaign managers criticized past platforms as too lengthy and influenced by special interests and outside groups. The goal is to create a more concise and easily understandable platform that is less vulnerable to attacks from political opponents.
The most recent platform, adopted in 2016 and reaffirmed in 2020, spans 66 pages. The new platform is expected to be much shorter, likely a couple of dozen pages, with clearer language that reflects Trump's key priorities.
