From ‘Trump Strait’ to $5k for every voter: MAGA boss makes big midterm pitch

From ‘Trump Strait’ to $5k for every voter: MAGA boss makes big midterm pitch

Donald Trump is scheduled to kick off the Republican Party's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, with a series of events that are likely to be all about him. This event, dubbed "Trumpapalooza," is the first of its kind and is set to span two days, with Trump delivering the prime speaking slot on both nights. Unlike traditional presidential-year conventions, this convention will lack the formalities typically associated with selecting a candidate or establishing a party platform, and will instead resemble a multi-day GOP infomercial.

While Republican politicians may view this strategy as a disadvantage, as polling suggests Trump is currently radioactively unpopular and dragging down Republican candidates, Trump's spending is on the rise with his MAGA Inc. super PAC having around $400 million in the bank.
