Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters predicted that the party’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas will be a success, casting it as a ‘Trumpapalooza’ aimed at firing up GOP voters in a difficult midterm climate.
Midterm Convention
The convention, scheduled for September 9-10, is an unusual effort to put President Donald Trump and the GOP’s 2026 message center stage before voters decide control of Congress. Gruters spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital, emphasizing that the convention will highlight the wonderful things President Trump has done and the ideas, policies, and people making the American comeback happen.
Gruters also pointed to primary victories by far-left and socialist candidates over the Democratic Party establishment, saying that the Republican Party will be able to highlight and contrast where they stand versus what the left is, and the fact that they’re getting pushed and now controlled and being run by these radical leftists that want to fundamentally change our country.
Party leaders are hoping the convention will help energize MAGA voters who don’t always vote when Trump isn’t on the ballot. Gruters called Trump the ‘best showman that’s ever existed in politics, bar none… He knows how to deliver these low-propensity voters. He knows how to get people up, motivated, excited about the midterms, and that’s what we’re going to need.’
