What to know about Trump's unusual midterm convention

Donald Trump is holding an unusual midterm convention in Dallas that differs significantly from traditional party gatherings. While standard conventions occur during presidential election years to formally nominate candidates and approve official party agendas, this specific event in Dallas has no formal business to conduct. The gathering deviates from the established political norms of party conventions, serving a different purpose than the typical nomination processes and agenda approvals seen in traditional presidential election cycles across the United States.
