President Donald Trump said Thursday that Republicans may take the unusual step of holding a convention ahead of the 2026 elections as both parties fight for control of Congress.
“We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms,” he continued.
The president did not provide details on the timing or location of the proposed convention, but normally, the gatherings are reserved for presidential election years, when Democrats and Republicans choose their candidate for the White House. Trump’s post comes as the Democratic National Committee weighs a “large-scale gathering” of its own.
“Americans everywhere are fired up and ready to fight back against Trump’s reckless policies — including his budget betrayal that cuts health care and food assistance for millions of people. To showcase our tremendous candidates running up and down the ballot and harness the amazing grassroots energy we’re already seeing, several options are on the table for next year, including hosting a large-scale gathering before the midterms,” DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman told the Washington Examiner.
Democrats remain on defense in the House, with 41 seats rated competitive compared to the 29 marked competitive for the GOP. Democrats only need a net gain of three seats to flip the House. Historically, the party in power loses seats in a midterm election. The GOP, meanwhile, is favored to keep control of the upper chamber.
Last year’s RNC was held in Milwaukee, while the DNC held its in Chicago.

Great Idea - showcase our great candidates, policies and accomplishments.
Single day voting, all paper ballots in person.
Have a nice life, Dominion.
What is hilarious is that the Dems will feel the need to do the same, and highlighting their freaks will seal the deal.

TRUMP 2028!
Considering that Democrat voters live in an alternative universe where men can become women, women can become men, reliable gas and diesel vehicles are melting the ice caps, wind and solar are reliable cheap energy, being disarmed and helpless makes you safer, etc. showcasing their freaks is a reasonable strategy.
Their Minnesota convention sure showcased their freaks, very helpful to conservative candidates.
The dnc just celebrated the end of a convention that was a call to arms with a tranny shooting up a Catholic Church.
Yes, it’s a great idea and great strategy.
The Dims will go berserk.
I believe that is their natural state.
Great idea, but the Mainstream media will never even cover it or even mention it.
And got 2 schoolkids killed also with their hateful rhetoric.
Where? How about D.C.?
I didn’t think it was even possible, but democrats just get more hateful by the day.
The Dims will go berserk.
I believe that is their natural state.

You’re 100000% right.
Well...this could be a good idea to excite the base into paying attention and lowering apathy - which is for whatever reason an issue for the “party in power”’s voters to not show up and vote. Even if only the talk radio circuit and conservative media cover it, it could serve that purpose.
… in the big, new, beautiful ballroom.
They’ll just blame guns and Trump, and ratchet up their venomous anger and hate even more.
