Welcome to Trumpapalooza, the unusual convention Republicans hope will save the midterm elections
Dozens of candidates in tight districts have skipped the MAGA conclave convened to glorify Donald Trump, fearing the toxic influence of the president
Republicans are convening in Dallas for a two-day "Trump-a-Palooza" this Wednesday, putting President Donald Trump at the forefront of the fall midterm elections. Despite many party members skipping the event, organizers aim to capitalize on the occasion to drum up support for Trump's agenda. The convention, billed as a "primetime showcase," will feature over 100 speakers discussing topics like tax cuts, border security, and allegations of fraud.
President Trump is set to deliver a keynote address each night, with his son, Donald Trump Jr., also scheduled to speak. However, some Republicans are opting out due to conflicting obligations or high fees, with some citing family commitments. The event aims to portray Democrats as extremists and boost enthusiasm for the midterms, despite President Trump's low approval ratings.
