Republican Party Platform Committee Chair Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) applauded the Republican National Committee (RNC) passing of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform on Monday.

The new party platform is an agenda consisting of 20 promises Republicans intend to deliver on in the case Trump is elected back to the White House and Republicans obtain majorities in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.

“The job of the chair is to orchestrate the platform committee meeting, and I am so proud the delegates passed Donald J. Trump’s platform,” Blackburn said in a statement.

Florida U.S. Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL-06), who co-chaired the committee with Blackburn, said the newly-adopted platform is a “document that the American people can get behind.”

The Republican Party’s adoption of the 2024 platform comes eight years since it adopted its last platform in 2016. The party did not adopt a new platform in 2020.

Members of the RNC’s Platform Committee will hold a vote behind closed doors Tuesday to officially adopt the new platform.

The 20 commitments laid out in the drafted version of the 2024 platform include:

    1. SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION
    2. CARRY OUT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY
    3. END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN

The platform is dedicated to the “Forgotten Men and Women of America.”

Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said the new platform “articulates” Trump’s “vision to Make America Great Again in a way that is concise and digestible for every voter.”

“Only President Trump can restore our economy, restore our Southern Border, and restore America’s standing in the world,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump added. “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.

    Jesse, just who defines when something said or written is hate speech. Frankly, the whole concept of hate speech (and hate crime for that matter) is so subjective it is easily manipulated to fit almost anything said or written. Those supporting a declared terrorist group are skating on thin ice. I assume that doing such is a criminal act under current law. ‘Nuff said.

    This looks like a very good platform to me.

    Excuse me, who started this unprovoked war? Hamas. The Hamas radical protesters on college campuses are of 3 groups: American college students who do not have an understanding of the true history of conflicts and wars the Israelis people have suffered. Next, are the paid protesters who show up and protest for money and not a cause. Third, true Hamas citizens who have infiltrated into the U.S. and have no right to cause chaos, destruction of campus property, and to spread hate of America and its citizens, while burning our flag. I’m with Blackburn on this one.

    There is a difference between being pro-Hamas and pro-Humanity. People are protesting what Israel is doing. It’s a genocide and the Republicans are turning a blind eye to it.

    Blackburn has proven she is against Freedom of Speech with the support of these antisemitism bills. In fact, any hate speech bill is against the 1st.
