President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold a midterm convention next year to showcase his administration's accomplishments, as the GOP seeks to increase its slim majority in the House through redistricting.
The announcement, made on Truth Social, did not specify when or where the convention would be held, saying only that those details were still "to be determined."
"The Republicans are going to do a Midterm Convention in order to show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024," Trump wrote, adding "it will be quite the Event, and very exciting!"
The Republican National Committee declined to provide additional details, but RNC spokesperson Kiersten Pels said in a statement that Trump is "leading with bold, innovative ideas to energize our Party and keep us on the path to victory."

As counterintuitive as it may be, Im thinking this is a good sign. He wants a convention where hes the star of the show and he knows if he waits until 2028, it will be someone elses show or he knows he may not make it til August 28.
A man a dream, right?

(51,554 posts)Maybe he thinks he'll get a convention bump in polling. The economy is not in a good place or in a good trajectory currently. Plenty of his voters are feeling less than great with his tariffs and mass deportations impacting their farms and businesses.

Even with MSM complicity, I dont think voters will buy what MAGA GOP is selling.
The convention might even help Dems regain the senate (the house is already a given).
I wonder how many Republican candidates will have prior commitments and wont attend this shit show?

(24,092 posts)The economy will be reeling, and there will a parade of wannabe MAGA-crown successors who will spew hatred and vitriol to remind the voters of their evil incompetence.
It will be a glorious, historic, unforced error of epic proportions.

The economy will be in recession by next summer, so make sure to blame Biden!
