Republicans have earned an electoral mandate unlike anything the party has seen since the 1980s.
Rachel Bovard, vice president of programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute and veteran of over a decade of working on Capitol Hill, told me on the latest episode of “The Signal Sitdown” that conservatives “cannot waste it.”
For the first time in 20 years, the Republican presidential nominee carried the popular vote. President-elect Donald Trump captured more than 300 Electoral College votes on the way to an election victory that reshaped the Republican Party’s coalition.
Republicans also retained control of the House and flipped the Senate. The future of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement seems secure for the next four years. But Bovard says its continuation depends on actually making America great again.
“I think what the Republican Party and sort of MAGA generally has inherited with this election is a tremendous coalition, and we cannot waste it,” Bovard told me. “We cannot waste it navel-gazing about K Street interests and foreign wars and the issues of a top tier of corporations in the defense base.”
“The things that we’ve done in the past are not going to satisfy this new coalition,” she added. “I think we have a very limited time to get it right with policies that really resonate with the working class, get the border under control, fix the economy, and promote families in this country again.”
“I think we do those things in the first year, MAGA becomes synonymous with Republican policies, which are synonymous with helping working people. And then we’re taking that rocket ship to the moon,” Bovard said.
Trump is busy filling out his Cabinet well before he is sworn in again on Jan. 20.
