Republican

The Republican Party, commonly referred to as the GOP (Grand Old Party), is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, alongside the Democratic Party. Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, it has historically advocated for limited government, free-market economics, and a strong national defense. In recent decades, the party's platform has emphasized tax reduction, deregulation, conservative judicial appointments, and opposition to abortion rights, while drawing its electoral base largely from rural areas, suburban communities, and the South and Midwest.
