Republicans for National Renewal is an American political advocacy group and 501(c)(4) organization. A right-wing [1] group, it describes itself as national-populists. [2]
The 501(c)(4) organization, Republicans for National Renewal, was founded in February 2020. [3] [4] The organization's launch party featured guests such as Corey Stewart, Paul Gosar, and Eduardo Bolsonaro. Some journalists were ejected from the event.

[6] The organization advocates for religious and family values, [7] and is considered to be generally conservative. [8]
In October 2020, Isabella DeLuca, the Outreach Director for Republicans for National Renewal, was assaulted during a protest in Washington, D.C. [9] [10]

In March 2022, the organization planned a daylong event in Lansing, Michigan, [12] [13] but a portion of the event slated to take place at a local brewery was canceled following online backlash and public pressure. [14] [3] [15]
In April 2022, the organization received a letter of support from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, pledging to strengthen cooperation between the group and Orbán's Fidesz party. [16]
