Trump, Vance Headline First RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas
The two-day event will feature about 109 speakers and items as Republicans try to boost turnout and defend key Senate and governor 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.

- 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.
