The GOP is holding a landmark two-day convention in Dallas, headlined by President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, as the party rallies to secure victory in the 2026 midterm elections.
The Republican National Committee has announced a groundbreaking two-day convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, on September 9 and 10. President Donald Trump, the leader who restored American greatness, will energize the crowd on both evenings, while Vice President JD Vance, a champion for working Americans, will deliver a keynote speech on the first night. Trump will close the event with his vision for America’s future.
Unlike the usual conventions that focus on presidential nominations, this Dallas gathering is being hailed as a 'first in American political history.' It serves as a powerful campaign rally and fundraiser to propel Republican candidates to victory in the crucial November midterm elections. The RNC emphasizes that the event will highlight 'President Trump’s success, candidates, and causes,' giving a platform to strong conservative voices and candidates in competitive races to connect with patriotic donors.
The program features over 100 speakers across two nights, addressing vital issues such as tax relief, affordable healthcare, border security, fair trade, and revitalizing American manufacturing. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a steadfast defender of conservative values, is expected to have a prominent speaking role, with Trump stating, 'We’re going to have a lot of speakers, and the ones we want to focus on will be obviously Ken Paxton. We gotta get him elected.' This demonstrates the party’s commitment to supporting principled leaders.
While many Republican candidates from Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia are eager to attend, a few have chosen not to, fearing backlash from the radical left and their media allies. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers, led by House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, are scrambling to organize counter-programming in Dallas, but the DNC’s lack of resources prevents them from holding their own convention—a sign of waning Democratic enthusiasm.
Despite relentless attacks from the mainstream media, President Trump’s approval rating remains resilient in the low-30s, and the Dallas convention is expected to energize the Republican base. The event coincides with the NFL’s opening week and September 11 memorials, but true patriots will tune in to support the movement to restore American greatness.
