Trump, Vance to Speak at RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas
The two-day event will feature 109 speeches and a closing keynote from Trump as Republicans try to rally voters in 35 key races.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 9, the Republican National Committee begins its inaugural two-day midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, headlined by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
- President Trump urged the GOP to host this gathering to frame November's midterms as a referendum on his presidency, aiming to mobilize low-propensity voters and showcase candidates in 35 competitive races.
- Yet 45 of 70 surveyed Republican candidates are declining to participate, while recent surveys show Trump's favorability at 42 and unfavorability at 51—his largest negative gap in a decade.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the Democratic National Committee are sending lawmakers to Texas to challenge the GOP's convention messaging, focusing their counter-programming on economic affordability.
- C-SPAN will provide the only complete, uninterrupted coverage of the 109 scheduled speeches. Trump, originally set only for Thursday, is now slated to appear both nights to bolster Republican support.
