Sunday shows preview: Trump travels to Texas for RNC midterm convention; Administration downplays Iran war consequences

President Trump will attend the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas next week. The event aims to galvanize Republican voters ahead of the November midterms.

The political group associated with President Trump, MAGA, Inc., is spending $10 million on television and digital advertisements in the Texas Senate race. According to Fortune and Gulf News, this is the group's first significant spending in a premier general election contest. The ads focus on taxes, portraying Democratic candidate James Talarico as seeking tax hikes and Republican candidate Ken Paxton as offering tax breaks to first-time homebuyers and families with children.

Public disapproval of Trump, particularly over the economy and the Iran war, has been a challenge for many Republican candidates. Democrats hope to gain control of the House and Senate, with Texas being a symbolically important state. Trump has stated he will spend whatever amount of money necessary to help Republican candidates, and MAGA, Inc. has at least $400 million in campaign funds.
