RNC considers ‘America First’–themed convention ahead of midterm elections
The Republican National Committee unanimously approved a rule change to hold a midterm convention, aiming to energize the party and support congressional candidates ahead of 2026 elections.
- On Jan. 23, 2026, the Republican National Committee voted at its winter meeting in Santa Barbara, California, to amend bylaws clearing the way for a midterm convention by unanimous voice vote.
- To energize the party, Republicans argue President Donald Trump announced last September that the GOP would hold a convention to showcase accomplishments and protect narrow majorities in this year's midterm elections.
- The Rules Committee adopted the change Thursday evening, allowing Joe Gruters to convene a ceremonial midterm convention with at least 60 days' notice and no business conducted.
- GOP officials say the White House will determine date and location in the coming weeks, with Las Vegas and Dallas under serious consideration as party leaders aim to boost fundraising and turnout.
- Historically, the party has not held midterm conventions for more than four decades, making this national political convention an unusual move that centers President Donald Trump in the Republican Party's midterm election history.
