The term New Right has come to define the philosophy of President Donald Trump and, by extension, the modern Republican Party .

It has been shaped and molded in the years since by Trump himself and by a host of politicians and intellectuals helping define the New Right.

This Washington Examiner series will look at the history of the movement, the matters that define it, the movement's major players, and its future.

A surprisingly large number of public intellectuals are influential in the New Right, one way or another.

One thing that unites them is that Republicans are connecting with working-class voters in a way they have not in a very long time.

Tucker Carlson , Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson are some of the better-known New Right figures.

The New Right is less of an ideological movement than it is a coalition, says Antonin Scalia , the grandson of the late Supreme Court justice of the same name.

What unites them all is not always ideological unity, Scalia argued, but a unified approach to politics that informs their worldview.
