A Republican is a member or supporter of the Republican Party, one of the two major political parties in the United States. Republicans generally advocate for limited government, lower taxes, a strong national defense, and traditional social values. The party's symbol is the elephant, and it is sometimes referred to as the GOP, which stands for 'Grand Old Party.' Republican viewpoints can vary, but the party is typically considered center-right on the political spectrum.
