Republican economic policies are undergoing a significant shift towards economic populism, diverging from traditional conservative approaches. Figures like Trump, Marco Rubio, and Sen. Toomey are at the forefront of this change, emphasizing new ideologies on taxes, trade, and antitrust regulations. This shift could reshape the GOP's stance on labor, free markets, and regulations, potentially influencing the party's future direction and the upcoming election.
