Trump Seeks to Rally Republicans Ahead of Midterm Elections at Dallas Convention
More than 50 speakers and presentations each night will spotlight Trump’s agenda and Republican candidates as the party seeks to energize voters for November.
- Republicans begin their first-ever midterm political convention on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, a two-day event headlined by President Donald Trump aimed at energizing voters before November elections.
- Dubbed 'Trumpapalooza' by organizers, the unusual midterm experiment seeks to rally voters around Trump's record as the party faces grim forecasts that could cost it control of the U.S. Congress.
- Funded by Republican donors, the convention costs over $40 million and expects about 30,000 attendees, with roundtable access to Trump priced at $250,000 and photographs at $88,600.
- Many candidates in tight races are opting to skip the convention, fearing association with Trump's low approval ratings, though party leaders insist the event provides valuable national exposure.
- Speakers plan to focus on tax cuts, immigration, and the 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda while portraying Democrats as extreme, with control of the U.S. Congress at stake in November 3 elections.
