Republicans will gather in Dallas this week for a midterm convention that’s a version of the type normally held in presidential election years.
President Donald Trump, party leaders, and battleground candidates comprise the 109 planned speakers who are there to set their agenda and rally voters, with the post-Labor Day sprint to Election Day underway. The program starts at 4 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday and Thursday.
Here’s a look at some of the notable speakers and attendees.
The midterms convention features speaking slots for a series of 2026 candidates from safe red seats to the most competitive battleground races.
It’s a calculated risk for the battleground contenders, who could benefit from national exposure, presidential favor, and fundraising support, but risk alienating swing voters by appearing at what Republicans are calling a “Trump-a-palooza.”
