Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September
The two-day event is meant to boost turnout in House and Senate races as Republicans defend slim congressional majorities, officials said.
- President Donald Trump announced Republicans will hold their first national midterm convention in Dallas on Sept. 9 and 10 to energize voters for critical House and Senate races.
- Republican leaders worry that without Trump on the ballot, galvanizing voters could prove difficult, as the party currently holds only slim majorities in Congress.
- If Democrats regain control of either chamber, they would be empowered to block Trump's agenda and launch investigations into his administration for the final two years of his term.
- Locating the event in Texas spotlights the Senate race pitting Democratic nominee James Talarico against Republican nominee Ken Paxton, who defeated Sen. John Cornyn earlier this year with Trump's backing.
