Trump and Vance to speak at final night of first GOP midterm convention

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are set to speak on the final night of the Republican National Committee's first midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. According to CBS News, Trump will follow Vance's remarks.

Vance's keynote address on Thursday could potentially be a launchpad for his inclusion on the GOP ticket in the 2028 Presidential election, with some experts viewing him as a feasible option due to Trump's falling approval ratings. The Hindustan Times - World News reports that Vance is also scheduled to hold a fundraiser aiming to raise around $2 million.

There have been ongoing talks about Vance potentially being Trump's successor on the GOP ticket. RNC Chair Joe Gruters disputed the claim that the ultimate power in the GOP rests with the MAGA faction, citing Vance's role as RNC Finance Chairman as evidence that the GOP is not solely MAGA.
