U.S. Republican Party

The U.S. Republican Party, also known as the GOP (Grand Old Party), is one of the country's two main political groups. It generally advocates for limited government intervention in the economy, lower taxes, and individual responsibility. Republicans often emphasize a strong national defense, conservative social values, and support for free-market capitalism. The party's policies can vary over time, but it typically appeals to voters who favor tradition, business interests, and personal freedoms. The Republican Party plays a significant role in American politics, competing regularly with the Democratic Party for control of government at federal, state, and local levels.
