Rockefeller Republican (or liberal Republican) was a faction of the American Republican Party who held moderate to liberal views on domestic issues similar to those of Nelson Rockefeller Governor of New York (1959-1973) and later Vice President of the United States (1974–77). The term largely fell out of use by the end of the twentieth century and has been replaced by the terms moderate Republican and pejoratively RINO (Republican In Name Only).
