US EditionTrump Considers Las Vegas for Midterm Convention
Trump's advisers plan a 2026 midterm convention to boost Republican candidates and showcase his record as the party aims to keep narrow Congressional majorities.
- Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s advisers are considering Las Vegas, Nevada as the site for a midterm political convention next year to spotlight Republican congressional candidates and promote the president’s record.
- Earlier this year, Trump proposed the idea and his team began planning a midterm convention modeled on last summer’s Milwaukee GOP convention with celebrity appearances.
- Trump reportedly favors Las Vegas because he co-owns the 64-story hotel bearing his name and he last spoke there at Circa Resort & Casino in January.
- With Republicans defending narrow majorities in Congress, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kiersten Pels said the party is excited about the possibility and Democrats are exploring a similar event after last year’s loss.
- Republicans have never convened a midterm convention, unlike brief Democratic efforts decades ago, and the event would likely occur near early voting next year, with Washington D.C. and Texas also under consideration.
