Trump Seeks to Rally Republicans Ahead of Midterm Elections at Dallas Convention
More than 50 speakers and presentations each night will spotlight Trump’s agenda and Republican candidates as the party seeks to energize voters for November.
- Republicans begin their first-ever midterm political convention on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, a two-day event headlined by President Donald Trump aimed at energizing voters before November elections.
- Dubbed 'Trumpapalooza' by organizers, the unusual midterm experiment seeks to rally voters around Trump's record as the party faces grim forecasts that could cost it control of the U.S. Congress.
- Funded by Republican donors, the convention costs over $40 million and expects about 30,000 attendees, with roundtable access to Trump priced at $250,000 and photographs at $88,600.
- Many candidates in tight races are opting to skip the convention, fearing association with Trump's low approval ratings, though party leaders insist the event provides valuable national exposure.
- Speakers plan to focus on tax cuts, immigration, and the 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda while portraying Democrats as extreme, with control of the U.S. Congress at stake in November 3 elections.

Trump wants voters to pretend he's on the ballot. The Republican Party is going along for the ride
President Donald Trump is set to headline a new Republican convention in Dallas this week, attempting to bolster his party ahead of the November 3 midterms through an event centered on his personal brand.
The Republicans' Trump show in Dallas is supposed to save the party and the president in the fall midterm elections. But for candidates who need to win over centrist voters, the "All Lights on Trump" strategy is more of a threat than a promise.
With an unusual party congress, the Republicans want to mobilize their base for the U.S. interim elections, but poor polls, high cost of living and the Iran war make Trump's performance show more difficult.
The president will lead the two days of the Dallas meeting, which begins on Wednesday and could mark the remainder of the campaign until the crucial November 3 elections
