Trump’s loyalty debate “is going to fade,” the Republican vice presidential nominee said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Circumstances, concepts and new applicants . . . they will overshadow this total conversation. “
Considering what it means to be a Republican and how it can be rebuilt is the inevitable result of the 2020 losses that left the White House and Congress under Democratic control.
Assessing the way forward is “a general developing pain for a party coming out of a presidential defeat,” Ryan said. “I think it is to recommend that this holiday be divided into one person. “
His views on the Republican Party will be presented next month as part of a series of speakers at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which re-opened after more than a year of closure on the occasion of a pandemic. Republican Party?
Those at the lectern will come with a list of possible presidential candidates by 2024, including former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former UN ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, among others.
“We think it’s the right time” to talk about the identity of the Republican Party and the principles of the party, said Roger Zakheim, Washington director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
“We are at a time when the Republican Party is in power,” Zakheim added. “Where does the Republican Party succeed, where does it fail?What philosophies can we all agree on?”
The base said in a statement that the forum will provide a platform “with the purpose of reinventing the Republican Party as a true conservative fashion party with concepts that deserve the help of the American people. “
The occasion’s setting will bring a symbolic weight: former Republican President and his wife Nancy Reagan are buried in the perched library of the village of Simi Valley, which celebrates its conservative legacy and everything related to Reagan.
“Many other people on the right have fallen into the identity policy trap. It’s a division factor, so it’s immoral at first, but in the long run it doesn’t work,” Ryan said.
“If you build a sustainable political movement Array . . . He will have to seek to come with everyone, with greater principles, greater concepts and greater solutions,” said Ryan, who serves on the library’s board of administrators and refers to Reagan as a political polar star. .
Ryan will deliver the inaugural address on May 27 for the library’s Time for Choosing forum, which takes his call from Reagan’s 1964 speech on Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. Other speakers will be kept on long-term dates.
Inevitably, Trump will be in the background. The former president has mocked that he could attempt a comeback in 2024, and the party is largely divided among its loyalists who continue to publicitate their unfounded accusations of voter fraud and those who believe he has broken the party and expelled voters. , especially on suburban battlefields where congressional control is decided.
The former president noted that Republicans won seats in the House in 2020, even when Trump hesitated. Ryan, who left Congress in January 2019 and is now a visiting academic at the American Enterprise Institute, had a tense and conflicted relationship with Trump. , in turn, criticized Ryan while at the House rate.
Ryan seemed hesitation when asked if he could apply for 2024. “I’m satisfied where I am, ” he said.
“Biden’s administration has moved to the far left and that, I think, will help us regain Congress,” Ryan said, noting that the White House party loses seats in Congress in the mid-term election.
“It will take us a few years to figure out who we are, what we believe in,” Ryan says. “My . . . hope is that we will unite around a set of principles, concepts and policies, a specific person. “
