Trump and Vance Set to Address Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will headline the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas next month, according to USA Today. Trump speaks on the closing night of September 9-10, while Vance opens the event. The GOP is pushing the convention to energize voters ahead of November's midterm election, despite facing political headwinds.
Trump's approval rating has slipped to 33%, marking the lowest since returning to the White House in 2025, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The convention will spotlight the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and focus on fraud prevention, healthcare costs, immigration, trade, and cultural issues.
The two Republican leaders will deliver major speeches at the RNC convention, USA Today reported. Vance will speak first on opening night, September 9. Trump takes the main stage on September 10, the final night. The dual appearances signal the party's focus on keeping momentum through the fall elections.
The RNC has outlined a full agenda for the two-day event. It will highlight the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—Trump's signature policy package. Convention speakers will address healthcare affordability, immigration reform, trade deals, and what the party calls cultural victories.
Republicans face challenges heading into the November elections. A recent poll showed Trump's approval at just 33%—the lowest level since his 2025 return to office, Reuters found. The Dallas convention is part of the GOP's strategy to rebuild support and energize the base before voting begins.
