Republicans opened their first national midterm convention today, bringing together President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Cabinet officials, and congressional candidates for a two-day event designed to energize voters ahead of the November 3 general elections.

The gathering marks the party's initial effort to coordinate messaging and turnout efforts at the national level for the midterms. Organizers scheduled more than 100 speakers across the sessions to highlight key policy priorities and candidate recruitment.

Trump and Vance are set to address attendees as the event focuses on building momentum for Republican candidates in House and Senate races. Cabinet members are also participating to underscore administration accomplishments and future plans.

The convention comes as Republicans seek to maintain or expand their majorities in Congress. Party officials have described the event as a strategic step to unify supporters and counter Democratic efforts in the final weeks before Election Day.

Sessions are expected to cover topics ranging from economic policy to border security, with an emphasis on turning out the base in competitive districts. The two-day format allows time for candidate training and networking alongside the main stage speeches.

Both nights of the 2026 Republican Convention will be streamed live.
