The proposed platform overhaul by the California GOP would be a remarkable break from conservative dogma in the state that nurtured Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.
Rep. Adam Schiff is using the prominence of being a top antagonist of former President Trump to great effect in his bid for election to the Senate.The draft also excises opposition to a federally protected right to abortion, while maintaining support for “adoption as an alternative to abortion.”
“This will be extremely controversial and will take a convention that is supposed to be about unifying the party and instead it ends up becoming a big feud,” said Jon Fleischman, a former state GOP executive director. “It’s the last thing the party needs.”He described it as “a big middle finger” to the presidential candidates who are scheduled to speak at the convention, “all of whom embrace the various party planks that are proposed for removal.”.
The proposal slims the platform from 11 pages to four. The vote approving the draft took place in Irvine on July 29, after a contentious state party executive committee meeting about revising how the state party’s presidential delegates will be awarded in the March primary.
