Trump says GOP to hold midterm convention in Dallas

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the Republican Party will host a midterm convention in Dallas.

While both parties typically hold major conventions during presidential election years, Tuesday's announcement marks the first time Republicans have held a national convention ahead of midterm elections.

The convention will be held Sept. 9 and 10.

Trump took to Truth Social to announce the event that he says will celebrate the "great American comeback" where the party will look to ramp up support by touting what they see as successes during the Trump presidency.

"At the event, we will have hard-working Americans, our great innovators, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, first responders, and job creators who are powering our nation's Golden Age, and proving that America's best days are still ahead of us," Trump said.

Republicans started exploring the idea of a midterm convention in March.

Earlier this month, U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton said Dallas would host the event during a tele-town hall.

The move comes as Republicans look to hold on to razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate in November.

The Texas Senate race is one of the highest-profile races in November, with Paxton and Democratic state Rep. James Talarico set to face off for the seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn.

Paxton won the Republican nomination in a runoff election in May.

Recent polling has shown that the race is separated by single-digits, well within the margin of error.
