Trumpapalooza: Republicans Rally Amidst Political Challenges
The two-day event will raise money and spotlight Texas races, with organizers aiming to boost Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign and the GOP’s midterm message.
- On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, the RNC is hosting its first midterm convention in Dallas, a two-day event that will not be aired in full on national television networks.
- President Trump first proposed the midterm convention last year, prompting the RNC to amend its charter rules in January to allow the event and project the administration's tax-cut messaging.
- Most congressional Republicans are paying roughly $25,000 to attend, while the National Republican Congressional Committee offers special access packages for up to $100,000, supported by the RNC's record $130.3 million in cash on hand.
- CNN analyst Harry Enten warned the event is "ill-conceived," arguing that targeting MAGA Republicans ignores independents; polling shows voters are less likely to back a Trump-endorsed candidate than one tied to Democratic Socialism.
- Vice President JD Vance emphasized the party's message during a White House press briefing Thursday, noting Republicans aim to defend the congressional majority across 35 competitive House races despite the event competing with NFL season openers.
