Conservatives Gather in Milwaukee for Policy Discussions
On the edge of the police cordon surrounding the Republican National Convention, hundreds of conservatives gathered at the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s venue to discuss policy and plans for 2025. The event, dubbed “Policy Fest,” brought together prominent figures to talk about the future of the conservative movement.
Plan 2025: The Heritage Foundation’s Blueprint for Change
“Plan 2025” is a comprehensive manual compiled by the Heritage Foundation for the next Republican administration. The plan, which spans nearly 1,000 pages, outlines sweeping changes to the federal government, including reforms to personnel rules to ensure greater loyalty to the president. While some speakers at the event hailed the plan as groundbreaking, others downplayed its significance.

Despite the enthusiasm for Plan 2025, there were divisions among conservatives regarding policy priorities for the future. Some questioned the compatibility of certain proposals with former President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, while others urged a more cautious approach to implementing the plan. The debate highlighted the diverse perspectives within the conservative movement on key issues.
Overall, the gathering in Milwaukee showcased the ideological diversity and strategic disagreements within the conservative movement as they chart a course for the future.
