Is Trump’s GOP departing from traditional conservatism?

At a Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13, former
President Donald Trump narrowly dodged an assassination attempt.
The moment left both parties reeling as they came to terms with a
landscape that prioritizes extremes and is ripe for political
violence. Just 48 hours later, the Republican National Convention
kicked off in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump, with a bandage over
his ear, pushed for unity within his party and across the
country. But did his speech on the last day of the convention
reveal actual changes in his vision for the GOP?

Earlier in the week, Trump announced his vice presidential
nominee: Ohio Senator JD Vance. Their messages of isolationism,
nativism, and a reinforcement of traditional masculinity were
echoed by the convention’s speakers. With the demographics of the
Republican and Democratic parties going through dramatic changes,
will Trump and Vance’s vision appeal to women voters?
