Daily News | Why Trump, DeSantis, and GOP rivals are flocking to the Moms for Liberty convention in Philadelphia
The outpouring of GOP presidential hopeful interest shows the impact of the self-described “parental rights” group — and the culture war issues that have become its focus — on the Republican Party.
“What the Republican candidates are hoping is that they can go to this convention, woo these voters, and the rest of the country won’t notice because it’s called ‘Moms for Liberty,’” Myrick said. Moms for Liberty has long been closely intertwined with the Republican Party and major conservative groups. One founder, Bridget Ziegler, who has since stepped down, is married to the chairman of the Florida Republican Party. Marie Rogerson, who replaced Ziegler, is an experienced GOP political strategist.
“They’re coming for the same reason [President Joe] Biden went to a union convention,” GOP strategist Chris Nicholas said. “Campaigns always like to go to places where someone else has spent the time and money to organize and they can show up and take advantage of that.”
