The Republican National Convention concluded Thursday evening after four days of conflicting messages on economics, foreign policy, and what it means to be a conservative.

In the weeks before the convention began, an internal fight grew over the platform moderating on social matters such as abortion, failing to address critical problems such as unsustainable entitlement programs, and being unnecessarily vague. Pro-lifers, in particular, had been planning to bring the challenge to the convention floor but only decided against this after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
