Make America Strong Once Again: What does Wednesday’s RNC theme mean?

Day three of the Republican National Convention is set to focus on foreign policy under the theme of “Make America Strong Once Again.”

The day will focus on America’s position on the world stage and critiquing President Joe Biden’s handling of national security, from the withdrawal in Afghanistan to the Israel-Hamas war to the southern border.

"Under President Trump’s vision , America will once again be strong and secure," reads the GOP's press release.

Each day of the convention has a theme playing off of former President Donald Trump ’s “Make America Great Again” motto. Monday was “Make America Wealthy Once Again” and Tuesday was “Make America Safe Once Again.”
