Republican Party (United States)

The Republican Party, also known as the GOP (Grand Old Party), is one of the two major political parties in the United States. It generally advocates for conservative policies, emphasizing limited government, free-market capitalism, individual responsibility, and traditional social values. Republicans often prioritize national security, lower taxes, and reduced government regulation. The party’s platform can vary over time and across regions, but it typically appeals to voters who favor a more limited federal government role in the economy and personal lives. They compete with the Democratic Party in shaping U.S. policies and leadership.
