Republican Party (Moving Forward)

The Republican Party, or GOP, is one of the major parties of the United States, founded in 1854. 
==History==
The GOP has gone over many phases in the last 200+ years of its existence. After the end of Trump's presidency and his arrest, the GOP turned away from Trumpism, with 2024 being the last election year that they called upon it, nominating Trump's Vice President Mike Pence. Pence, however, was not as appealing as Trump or as radical. As a result of the GOP turning away from Trumpism, Trump's core base turned away from them, founding the Americans First Party in 2026. 
Due to this, the 2028 US Presidential election was a weird one. The Republicans nominated Spencer Cox, while the Americans First nominated Sarah H. Sanders. The conservative vote was split between the Republicans and Americans first, giving Castro practically a landslide re-election, however, the moderate vote was split between the Republicans and Democrats.
Spencer Cox's candidacy would give way to a new era of GOP politics, the "New Republican" era. New Republicans were social moderate yet economic populists. This would be continued with the election of the Jaime Beutler in 2032. 
Overtime, however, the New Republicans (like the New Democrats) began to fade.
The GOP of the 2050s were libertarian. They supported individual liberties, smaller government, and partial laissez-faire economics. As a result, they became the party of rich Americans, while the Democrats at the time were the party of poor Americans. The GOP at this time period was also more for immigration than the Democrats. As a result of this turn, the Libertarian Party dissolved in 2054 due to most of its support now being focused on the GOP.
