President Trump to Headline First-Ever GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas
President Trump is scheduled to headline both nights of the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, this week. The event, which is expected to draw approximately 20,000 attendees, will feature speeches, policy presentations, and appearances by Republican candidates and officeholders. Vice President JD Vance is also slated to speak. The convention is designed as a rally rather than a traditional nominating convention, meaning no candidates will be nominated, no votes will be cast, and no party platform will be adopted. The primary goal is for President Trump to make a strong case for why GOP lawmakers should maintain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.
