Some Republicans are planning to skip Trump’s GOP convention
Trump will speak on both nights as organizers try to fill seats and rally candidates in 35 key races, party officials said.
- President Donald Trump will deliver keynote speeches on both nights of the GOP Midterm Convention, scheduled for September 9-10 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
- Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters called the event a 'primetime showcase' for party success, featuring presentations on tax cuts and border security over two action-packed days.
- A survey of more than 70 GOP candidates found most remain undecided or plan to avoid the event, with 45 Republicans citing various reasons for their absence.
- Dallas officials estimated a $1.8 million security cost for the event, which faces scheduling conflicts with NFL rivalry games dubbed 'Trump-a-palooza' by some critics.
- Persistent voter dissatisfaction and reports of 'Trump fatigue' raise the stakes for candidates, as strategists view the convention as a critical opportunity to rally support before November.
