Donald Trump's campaign managers sent a memo to the Republican Party's platform committee signaling plans to overhaul and shorten the national GOP platform. The memo said the new platform would streamline the platform to be "in line" with Trump's "principled and popular vision for America's future." Previous GOP platforms were over 60 pages long, while the memo suggested a shorter platform to avoid "fuel for our opponent's fire of misinformation." Some social conservatives and anti-abortion groups are concerned the new platform may drop calls for a federal 20-week abortion ban.
