The Republican National Committee (RNC) has officially adopted President Donald Trump’s 2024 GOP Platform to “Make America Great Again” just one week before he is formally declared the party’s presidential nominee at their convention.

The committee, which supported the new plan overwhelmingly, celebrated its objectives as a “pro-American agenda that stands in stark contrast to the record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty created by Joe Biden.”

In a statement from Monday, RNC Chair Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump praised the new proposal, writing in a statement how “Only President Trump can restore our Southern Border, and restore America’s standing in the world.”

The statement continued, “His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again.”

Among President Trump’s top proposals stemmed from securing the southern U.S. border, with his pledging to fulfill “the largest deportation operation in American history,” the platform read.

The Trump administration would, if elected, further deport those within violent gangs and drug cartels, stop fentanyl and other drugs from pouring into the country, and reinstate Title 42.

In addition to immigration, a Trump administration would focus on cutting “burdensome regulations,” ending the rampant inflation crisis, and increasing energy production to make the country “the dominant energy producer in the world,” while also being energy independent.

President Trump also vowed to cut taxes on workers and implement a “no tax on tips” policy, defend the Constitution and fundamental freedoms, protect Social Security and Medicare, cut federal funding for schools pushing critical race theory, secure American elections, keep men from competing in women’s sports, and prevent the “weaponization of government against the American people.”

On a foreign policy front, the president also pledged to “prevent World War Three” by restoring peace throughout Europe and the Middle East, and further “strengthen and modernize” the U.S. military.

According to the president, his agenda would help “Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success,” should he be reelected this fall.

The RNC’s new official program shows that President Trump is committed to continuing and improving the America First agenda, which took place during his first term. It further dispells rumors that he would implement “Project 2025,” a policy Democrats accused the president of allegedly supporting.

Joe Biden previously said that his opponent’s platform called for “limitless power over our daily lives,” falsely stating that President Trump would further “gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world.”

Then, as soon as the official RNC platform was released, the Biden campaign again accused President Trump of holding beliefs from Project 2025 in a post to X.

Among these reported beliefs were claims that President Trump would “cut” Social Security and Medicare, pack the U.S. Supreme Court, and send the Justice Department after political dissidents.

President Trump has denied knowing anything about Project 2025, writing in a post to Truth Social that it was “ridiculous and abysmal.”

“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” President Trump wrote on Friday.

He added, “Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

Interestingly, President Trump’s and the RNC’s proposals differ greatly from the accusations made by Biden’s campaign. For instance, the Republican platform specifically commits to “safeguarding” Social Security and Medicare.

The RNC’s policy states clearly how President Trump “will not cut one penny from Medicare or Social Security,” and that Republicans “will protect these vital programs and ensure Economic Stability.”

According to the program, “Republicans will protect Medicare’s finances from being financially crushed by the Democrat plan to add tens of millions of new illegal immigrants to the rolls of Medicare.”

On abortion, the Trump platform notably stands “for families and Life” and explicitly opposes “Late-Term Abortion while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments,” which directly contradicts Biden’s accusations.

Ultimately, abortion will be delegated to the states, according to the Trump campaign.

Regarding packing the Supreme Court, the Trump campaign plainly states that they “will maintain the Supreme Court as it was always meant to be, at nine Justices.”

“We will not allow the Democrat Party to increase this number,” the platform read. “We will block them at every turn.”

Pointing to the weaponization of government against opponents, the Trump campaign expressed that Republicans would “hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents,” along with their promises to “declassify Government records, root out wrongdoers, and fire corrupt employees.”

Although the Republican platform committee overwhelmingly approved President Trump’s new platform, it will receive an official final vote behind closed doors on Tuesday, though it will likely pass.
