There’s no question that former President Donald Trump still has a large base of support within the Republican Party, according to his allies. And a recent summit in Washington shows he remains a powerful force in Republican politics.
Some former Trump administration officials who founded the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) convened a summit in Washington on July 25 and 26 to present their policy proposals for the next Congress. Trump’s allies are working to make sure that his policies and “America First” ideology remain a central part of the party’s platform as they prepare for a possible red wave in 2022.
