Trump may be stuck with the old platform, which is peppered with jeremiads about the “current administration” that were originally written about President Barack Obama
President Donald Trump said Friday he wants “a new and updated” Republican Party platform after the Republican National Committee voted this week to carry over the 2016 document.
RNC rules dictated that because the party’s business could not be carried out within the original convention site or the original convention city, only a roll call vote for nominating the president or vice president was allowed. On the national debt, the platform complains that the “current Administration’s refusal to work with Republicans took our national debt from $10 trillion to nearly $19 trillion today.In fact, the national debt has exceeded $26 trillion this week and is on pace to surpass the $30 trillion mark well before 2026.
Story continuesTrump on Friday suggested he wanted the party’s principles spelled out in a more abbreviated form. “There is nothing in the world stopping President Trump from very publicly leaving his imprint on the party’s direction,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said.
