Trump Announces GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas

President Trump announced Republicans will hold their first-ever midterm convention in Dallas in September, breaking with the tradition of conventions only in presidential election years.

The event aims to energize voters as the GOP fights to hold its narrow congressional majorities.

The convention will be held on September 9 and 10, and comes as the party seeks to flex its midterm cash advantage following a Supreme Court win allowing greater coordination with candidates.

Some Republicans fear the move could backfire by highlighting internal divisions.
