Democrats seek to counter RNC’s ‘Trump-a-palooza’ convention in Dallas

Republicans are organizing a first-of-its-kind two-day midterm convention in Dallas, dubbed Trump-a-palooza, to energize their base ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. With control of Congress at stake, the GOP faces a bleak outlook and concerns regarding attendance. Meanwhile, Democrats are planning counterprogramming strategies around the event, aiming to capitalize on the gathering to pursue a Senate flip in the red state as candidates enter the final weeks of their campaigns.
