As Trump takes center stage in Dallas, Republicans debate a future without him
With Donald Trump constitutionally barred from seeking a third term, Republicans said the question is which elements of Trumpism should endure.
Dallas – This week, Republican delegates will gather to honor President Donald Trump and mobilize support before the U.S. midterm elections. However, a subpar performance in the November 3rd poll could intensify the ongoing debate about the party's future following Trump's departure. Among the most pivotal figures in this discourse is Vice President JD Vance, whose opening remarks on Thursday may function as a preliminary performance for the 2028 campaign and shed light on how he might govern a party reshaped by Trump.
Given that Trump is barred by the Constitution from running for a third term, Republican sources interviewed for this story revealed that the question at hand is which aspects of Trumpism should continue. Disagreements have emerged over tariffs, foreign intervention, and the breadth of his populist program.
