    Demi Kouzounas oversaw a party platform as the chairwoman of the Maine state Republican committee that defined the teaching of nonbinary genders in public schools as “child sexual abuse.”

    Mr. Trump’s top campaign advisers, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, have already stated their intention of producing a “streamlined platform,” with policy specifics kept to a bare minimum.

    Jessica Hart Steinmann, from Texas, was an attorney in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, while Derek Harvey, a Maryland representative on the committee, worked in the former president’s National Security Council.

      It’s not even about time; it’s that their policy agenda is really unpopular, so they’re planning to have a pledge of allegiance to Trump instead of talking about how they plan to sell national parks to billionaires, let the poor go hungry, and transfer wealth upwards
