The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee demonstrated unprecedented unity within the party, with a collective focus on defeating Biden-Harris and promoting American exceptionalism. This unity is buoyed by a wave of optimism among Trump supporters, despite internal differences on various issues. The convention also highlighted a significant shift in the party's platform towards populist economic policies, diverging from traditional fiscal conservatism. The rise of the New Right, characterized by figures like J.D. Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy, is steering the party away from the neoliberal consensus and towards a more protectionist and nationalist stance. The GOP is increasingly critical of corporations and supportive of tariffs, reflecting a broader ideological transformation. Polls indicate that Trump currently leads Biden in key battleground states, enhancing Republican confidence.
