Trump’s midterm convention quickly becoming rescue mission for Republicans

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePresident Donald Trump’s upcoming Republican midterm convention has been described as a trainwreck by political insiders, with concerns ranging from the exorbitant ticket prices to poor optics, according to a new report.But the upcoming GOP extravaganza, hosted by the Republican National Committee, has been derided as a disaster by some Republican operatives, Puck News reported. One GOP strategist, putting it bluntly, described the event as a “s*** show.”The event, taking place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on September 9 and 10, faces pushback over exorbitant ticket prices, with House lawmakers being asked to pay between $25,000 and $100,000 to attend. Critics questioned the convention's timing, noting it falls just before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and overlaps with NFL opening games. Concerns were also raised about corporate donors being solicited to sponsor the event despite no official party business taking place. Despite the criticism, RNC organizers hope the convention will energize voters around Trump's tax cuts and immigration policies ahead of the November midterm elections.
