President Donald Trump and Republicans nationwide have gathered in Dallas, Texas, for a two-night midterm convention to rally support for upcoming candidates and highlight the administration’s agenda ahead of November. President Trump is scheduled to deliver the keynote address on Wednesday evening. The event, dubbed “Trumpapalooza,” features images of Trump lining the walls of the American Airlines Center. While Trump anticipates a massive, sold-out crowd, he noted that some Republicans are absent due to space limitations. Meanwhile, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker held a press conference with Texas Democrats to criticize the convention as a distraction from kitchen-table issues like the economy and trade policies. Additionally, economic pressures such as rising diesel costs linked to the Iran conflict are prompting some traditional Republican supporters, like Texas trucker Mike Njenga, to reconsider their votes for the upcoming election.
