Republicans Plan Midterm Convention in Dallas

0:00On March 25th, Republicans led by President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are putting together plans for a midterm convention in, Dallas ahead of the 2026 elections. The event aims to rally the party and build on early voting energy, with details like the exact date and official paperwork still in the works. The gathering would come after Labor Day, a timing chosen to boost momentum. Dallas edged out Las Vegas as the top location choice, marking a shift from the usual four-year cycle tied to presidential nominations. GOP leaders have cheered the idea, with House Speaker Mike Johnson calling it a smart move during a recent party retreat in Florida. On the other side, Democrats have no such plans, saying they want to prioritize grassroots work in key states over a big event. Financially, the Republican National Committee holds a $100 million cash advantage over Democrats right now. Party spokespeople traded barbs, with Republicans pointing to Democratic weaknesses and funds and ideas, while Democrats argue focusing on campaigns, will pay off more.
