This is your RNC News podcast.

The US Republican Party is currently gearing up for significant events and facing several key challenges as it prepares for the new administration under President-elect Donald Trump.

One of the major headlines is the upcoming confirmation hearings for Trump's Cabinet picks, which are set to begin this week. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso has stated that Republicans will work around the clock to ensure these nominees are confirmed swiftly.

In terms of the Republican National Convention (RNC), the event plays a crucial role in unifying the party behind its chosen candidate and building momentum for the general election campaign. The convention will feature a lineup of prominent speakers, including Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, several senators and representatives, governors like Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, and conservative personalities such as Tucker Carlson and Franklin Graham.

The Republican Party's policy platform is another key focus. The 2024 GOP Platform, titled "Make America Great Again!", outlines the party's commitment to addressing core issues such as securing the border, restoring economic strength, and ensuring national security. The platform promises to stop illegal immigration, deport illegal aliens, and reverse the Democrats' open border policies. It also emphasizes the need to restore peace through strength, reduce geopolitical risks, and lower commodity prices.

Additionally, the platform highlights strict vetting processes to keep out foreign individuals who do not align with American values and the intention to stop sanctuary cities. These policies reflect the party's core principles and are designed to appeal to a broad electorate.

On the legal front, Trump is dealing with ongoing legal battles, including concerns about his handling of classified documents, which led to a federal indictment. Trump has announced plans to replace the head of the National Archives, an agency whose leaders raised concerns about his actions.

Trump's inaugural committee has raised over $170 million, a significant amount that has resulted in some major donors being placed on wait lists for VIP tickets to inaugural events due to capacity issues. Congress has officially confirmed Trump's Electoral College victory, paving the way for his inauguration on January 20.

In the realm of political stances, Trump's personal business interests continue to intertwine with his political activities, raising conflict of interest questions. For example, he has been promoting Trump-themed merchandise, including limited edition guitars and fragrances, to his followers on social media.
