Election 2026 Republicans

President Donald Trump has returned to the stage on the second and final night Thursday of the Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas, imploring the crowd to “go and vote.” Republicans are counting on Trump to rally voter enthusiasm. They’re also setting the stage for what comes next, in the post-Trump era. Vice President JD Vance took the primetime speaking slot. The party's House and Senate majorities are at stake this fall. Republicans are working to shrug off voter concerns about the economy, the war in Iran and the direction of the country, and they are warning of what’s coming if Democrats seize power.
