Trump to deliver keynote at first GOP midterm convention in Dallas

President Donald Trump is slated to deliver the keynote address on Wednesday evening as the Republican National Committee launches its inaugural two‑day midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. The event, billed as the party’s first dedicated gathering to outline its strategy for the upcoming 2026 congressional elections, will feature a lineup of senior officials and prominent allies aimed at rallying the base and framing the GOP’s policy agenda.

Among the scheduled speakers are Attorney General Todd Blanche, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who are expected to discuss law‑enforcement priorities, health‑care reforms, and fiscal policy respectively. The convention, which runs through Thursday, will also include regional leaders and grassroots organizers, providing a platform for the party to coordinate messaging ahead of the midterm contests. The RNC hopes the summit will solidify unity and set a clear narrative for Republican candidates nationwide.
