Republicans Tie Midterm Hopes to Trump at Dallas Convention Despite Political Risks
Rove said Republicans are making a risky late bet on Trump as polls show weak approval and candidates face tougher questions.
- On Wednesday, the Republican Party begins an unusual midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, centered entirely on President Donald Trump and his political agenda.
- Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove admitted Tuesday he is 'a little bit nervous' about the party's late-stage gamble, noting the risk of holding the event just 56 days before the November 3, 2026 midterms.
- While Trump told advisers to make the midterms about him, Reuters polling shows his approval rating on the economy sits at 32%, with just 25% approving of his cost-of-living handling.
- Rove warned in The Wall Street Journal that Trump's 'crazy comments' will force candidates to defend controversial ideas, with the White House 'pushing a big bet' by prioritizing the president's record.
- Trump is set to deliver a keynote address Wednesday before Vice President JD Vance speaks, with reports suggesting he plans extensive October travel that critics argue may help the Democratic Party.
