Vice President JD Vance takes the stage at the Republicans' midterm convention in Dallas as the party knows that history is not on its side this election season. Republicans are counting on President Donald Trump to rally voter enthusiasm. They’re also setting the stage for what comes next, in the post-Trump era. Vance took the primetime speaking slot ahead of closing remarks from Trump. The party's House and Senate majorities are at stake this fall.
