Trump to speak at both nights of RNC midterm convention

President Donald Trump has been confirmed to speak on both nights of the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) inaugural midterm convention in Dallas. He will deliver the opening keynote on the first night and provide closing remarks on the second night. Vice President JD Vance will give the second-night keynote. The event, dubbed a 'Trump-a-palooza' by RNC Chairman Joe Gruters, includes over 100 sessions covering topics such as swing district candidates, restrictions on lawmaker stock trading, and contrasts between Republican and Democratic policies. Notable attendees include Attorney General Todd Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and several prominent Republicans like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. However, some senior Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senators Tommy Tuberville and Mike Rounds, have opted not to attend, reportedly due to potential financial requirements for participation. Meanwhile, Democrats are organizing counterprogramming in Dallas, with figures like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Jason Crow planning to highlight their party’s alternative vision.
