Folks, I’m sipping my coffee and reading about the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, and let me tell you, it’s going to be a wild ride. President Donald Trump, party leaders, and battleground candidates are all set to speak, with 109 planned speakers in total. The convention is a bit unconventional, as it’s not typically held in non-presidential election years, but Trump loves a good show, so here we are. The event starts at 4 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday and Thursday, and I’m expecting a lot of excitement and maybe a few surprises.
The lineup of speakers is impressive, with representatives from safe red seats to the most competitive battleground races. Some notable attendees include Reps. Mike Lawler, Derrick Van Orden, Monica De La Cruz, Ryan Mackenzie, and Rob Bresnahan. And on the Senate side, we have Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Georgia Rep. Mike Collins, former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, and former RNC Chair Michael Whatley in North Carolina.
It’s worth noting that some Republicans are skipping the convention, including Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, Tom Barrett, Juan Ciscomani, Zach Nunn, and David Valadao. And several nominees in key Senate races, like Sens. Susan Collins and Dan Sullivan, won’t be speaking either. But hey, with Trump at the helm, you can bet it’s going to be a “RALLY like none other!” as he posted on social media.
The convention itself is a big deal, with Trump set to dominate the event as both the keynote speaker on Wednesday night and the closing speaker on Thursday. Other administration leaders, like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Todd Blanche, will also be speaking. And let’s not forget the party leaders, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who’s expected to attend but won’t be speaking.
As RNC national press secretary Natalie Baldassarre told CNN, “A lot of these races are going to be very, very tight… Our goal is to remind voters… that there is an election in November and it is critical for them to get out to vote.” And with the NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella saying that House Republicans are “fired up” to take their message to voters, it’s clear that this convention is going to be a major push for the party.
In conclusion, the Republican midterm convention in Dallas is shaping up to be a major event, with big names and big speeches. And with Trump at the helm, you can bet it’s going to be a wild ride. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show – it’s going to be a “RALLY like none other!” And who knows, maybe we’ll even see some surprises along the way. After all, as they say, “you can’t make this stuff up!”
