Republican politicians are gearing up for a special midterm convention in Dallas, as directed by Donald Trump. The event aims to celebrate Trump's victories and portray the midterms as a referendum on his presidency, despite his declining approval ratings.

However, GOP lawmakers and candidates are divided on the matter, as they either want to distance themselves from Trump's image or feel compelled to align with him due to political necessity. The Republican National Committee has released a list of speakers, with a focus on Trump's family and current cabinet members, emphasizing a unifying message for the proceedings.
