Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September

President Donald Trump announced a Republican national convention in Dallas on Sept. 9-10 to boost midterm election turnout, a first for the party. The event aims to focus on congressional races that could determine control of Congress, with Texas’s Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico highlighted as a key contest. The Republican National Committee amended procedures in January to enable the convention, which follows Trump’s push for redistricting in Texas.
