'Republicans are still more likely to line up with business on most regulatory and tax issues, but the cultural differences between Wall Street and MAGA warriors are becoming harder to ignore.' Read more from danschnur on our blog:
For several decades in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, successful Republicans relied on an often uneasy but usually workable coalition that brought economic, foreign policy, and social conservatives together into the broad GOP tent. Republican presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush used this partnership as the foundation for their political support, balancing the needs of each of those three communities to achieve their respective election and policy objectives.
Given their new audience, Republican strategists have quickly learned the political benefits of bashing corporate America. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ ongoing fight with the Walt Disney Company is the most visible example of this trend, but GOP leaders are just as eager to publicly battle with Silicon Valley and other corporate titans. Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a stalwart Republican ally for most of modern history, is now on the outs with the party’s congressional leadership.
For the newly-emergent Republican cohort that is suspicious of tradition party dogma on economic and security issues, the most important discussion is about cultural conservatism. It became apparent during last week’s congressional debate over military spending debate exactly how dominant the party’s social conservatives have become and how much their agenda has obscured other GOP policy priorities.
