Republicans are gathering for their midterm convention, aware that historical trends are not in their favor this election season. They are counting on President Donald Trump to help protect their majorities in the House and Senate. The convention is setting the stage for the future of the party, potentially beyond the Trump era.
Vice President JD Vance is taking a prominent speaking role, ahead of President Trump. Vance's speech comes after a tribute to conservative leader Charlie Kirk. It is not yet known if Vance will run for the White House, and President Trump has not named a potential successor.
Further details about the convention and the party's plans are available from the source. The event is part of the lead-up to the midterm elections, where Republican control of Congress is at risk.
