Donald Trump is set to address Republicans at the party's first national convention ahead of the midterm elections, aiming to energize voters as the GOP seeks to maintain its slim congressional majorities. The two-day event in Dallas features over 100 House members and candidates, with Trump delivering the keynote speech tonight and returning for the closing address on Thursday.
The convention comes amid legal uncertainties in Missouri regarding congressional maps, as the Supreme Court declined to reinstate a Trump-backed map. Additionally, the U.S. military recently destroyed Iranian oil carriers following missile threats, while trade tensions escalate with Canada over dairy and other products.
As Trump rallies the GOP, watch for how his address influences voter turnout and candidate momentum in upcoming elections. Keep an eye on the legal battles in Missouri and the evolving trade tensions with Canada, as these issues could impact congressional races.
