Trump Seeks to Rally Republicans Ahead of Midterm Elections at Dallas Convention
Trump’s first midterm convention will showcase more than 100 speakers and a $10 million Texas Senate ad blitz, while several vulnerable Republicans skip it.
- On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee opened its first-ever midterm convention, dubbed "Trumpapalooza," at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, with President Donald Trump headlining the two-night event ahead of November 3 midterm elections.
- Breaking with decades of tradition, the Republican Party designed the event to rally voters around Trump's record as it faces increasingly grim election forecasts for November's midterms.
- While the RNC projects around 20,000 attendees, numerous Republican candidates are skipping the event citing campaign obligations and costs. MAGA Inc. committed $10 million to the Texas Senate race, underscoring party urgency.
- Dallas estimates roughly $2.5 million in security costs for the event, with heavy police presence and checkpoints around the venue. Democrats plan counter-programming near the convention grounds to compete for media attention.
- The convention tests whether Trump's celebrity can energize voters amid Democratic polling leads in several battleground Senate races before the November 3 election. Success or failure may shape Republican strategy in the campaign's final weeks.
