President Donald Trump has announced that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of the midterm elections, an unusual event aimed at boosting turnout in races that will decide whether the party maintains control of Congress.<\/p>\n

The convention will be held in Dallas on Sept. 9 and 10.<\/p>\n

Although both major parties traditionally hold blockbuster conventions during presidential campaigns, Trump has long floated the idea of a similar gathering this year to focus voters\u2019 attention on a sprawling collection of House and Senate races.<\/p>\n

If Democrats regain control of either chamber, they will be empowered to block Trump\u2019s agenda and launch investigations into his administration for the final two years of his term.<\/p>\n

Republicans have only slim majorities in Congress, and the party in power normally loses ground in the midterms. And without Trump on the ballot, Republican leaders worry that it could be hard to galvanize their voters.<\/p>\n

Trump hopes the convention would help change that dynamic, and he\u2019s been talking about it since last year. He floated in a social media post that Republicans would use the event \u201cto show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locating the convention in Texas places a spotlight on the state\u2019s Senate race, which pits Democratic nominee James Talarico against Republican nominee Ken Paxton.<\/p>\n

Paxton is the state attorney general who, with Trump\u2019s backing, defeated longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a primary earlier this year. Republican Senate leaders fear that Paxton\u2019s history of scandals – including an extramarital affair, an impeachment and a securities fraud case that did not lead to a conviction – could undermine his candidacy and turn a winnable race into a drain on party resources.<\/p>\n

It also highlights the aftereffects of Trump\u2019s mid-decade redistricting push that began in Texas, an effort to secure more seats for Republicans in this fall\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

The Republican National Committee began laying the groundwork earlier this year, voting at its winter meeting in January to make such an event possible by amending procedures centered around quadrennial presidential nominating conventions.<\/p>\n

Democrats considered holding a similar gathering ahead of the midterms but tabled the idea. However, the party did hold such conferences in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n
