Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "2024 Republican National Convention" in English language version.
This year things took an unfortunate turn. At the delegation meeting the night before the platform proceedings, delegates were told they would not be given the platform. ... Platform deliberations lasted 30 minutes. There were no subcommittees. Every motion to amend the document was blocked. ... Tony Perkins, representing Louisiana, asked for the rules on filing a minority report. Chairman Blackburn refused to provide that information. After a few minutes, an assigned delegate read from a piece of paper at one of the two microphones in the room and "called the question," which ended debate. That motion passed and approval of the platform came shortly thereafter. Fewer than two dozen brave delegates voted no.
The platform is even more nationalistic, more protectionist and less socially conservative than the 2016 Republican platform that was duplicated in the 2020 election.
