What happened
President Donald Trump closed the Republican Party’s first midterm convention in Dallas by asking attendees to pledge to vote in November and to “pretend” he was on the ballot, saying, “I’m on the ticket.” The two-day gathering kept Trump at the center of the GOP’s midterm strategy as the party tries to lift turnout in a difficult political environment. Vice President JD Vance delivered the keynote, casting Democrats as extreme while acknowledging some voters dislike parts of the administration. His prominence intensified 2028 succession talk among Republicans.
