Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Republicans will gather in Dallas, Texas, for a convention on September 9th and 10th — an event unprecedented for a midterm cycle. The former president characterized the gathering as a tribute to the nation’s achievements and a declaration that a prosperous period lies ahead. This convention occurs as the GOP holds thin majorities in Congress, Trump’s approval ratings remain low, and Texas features several tight races for House, Senate, and governor. Democrats have announced no comparable event.
