Republicans at their midterm convention in Dallas know that history is not on their side this election season, but they 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. Vice President JD Vance takes center stage with a primetime speaking slot just ahead of the president, which will provide a potential make or break platform for his own 2028 presidential ambitions. Their House and Senate majorities are at stake this fall. Republicans are working to shrug off voter concerns about the economy, the war in Iran or the direction of the country. Instead they are imploring voters to consider the GOP accomplishments. They warn of what’s coming if Democrats seize power.
