The president has made a major announcement regarding the upcoming midterms.
President Donald Trump says he will be heading up a Republican midterm convention, the first ever, in September.
'THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!'
The midterm convention will be held in Dallas, Texas, according to President Trump's post on social media. He previously pitched the idea in Aug. 2025.
"It will be fantastic! It has never been done before, and will be a truly Historic Event. We are going to celebrate the GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK, and the incredible successes of the American People who transformed our Country through the America First Agenda," he wrote Tuesday.
He lauded a list of his accomplishments that included the shutdown at the border, lowering crime, and increasing the nation's energy dominance.
Trump went on to say the convention will prepare the country for another 250 years of success.
"At the Event, we will have hardworking Americans, our Great Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Manufacturers, First Responders, and Job Creators who are powering our Nation's Golden Age, and proving that America's best days are still ahead of us," he added. "We will also have lots of Great Entertainment — It will be a RALLY like none other!"
Richard Hudson, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, praised the president in a statement on social media.
"President Trump has united Republicans behind a winning agenda that's delivering results for the American people," he wrote. "The Midterm Convention will showcase our strong Republican candidates, energize supporters across the country, and ensure House Republicans have the resources to protect and grow our majority in November."
The midterm convention will run from Sept. 9 to 10.
Democrats considered returning their midterm convention but decided against it. Some suspect that their dwindling cash donations forced them to abandon the idea.

The convention should help galvanize Republican voters to show up at the ballot box for the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats will take over Congress for the rest of Trump's second term.
"THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!" the president concluded.

ESPN has now completely deleted its story claiming that NFL player Mike Pennel is a suspect in a murder case in the Dominican Republic.

Democratic Socialists of America continue to take out establishment Democrats at the ballot box. The latest casualty is a longtime congresswoman from Colorado.
On Tuesday, Gen Z upstart Melat Kiros trounced longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for the 1st Congressional District of Colorado, representing much of Denver. With 81% of the vote reported, Kiros holds a lead of nearly 10 points, 51.3% to DeGette's 41.7%, according to NBC News.
'This is the most anti-incumbent cycle we’ve seen in a really long time.'
As of Wednesday afternoon, DeGette had still not conceded the race on social media. Late Tuesday night, she posted to X that "it looks like we won't have final results tonight."
By all accounts, DeGette has established far-left Democrat bona fides. She was a manager in President Trump's second impeachment effort, she supports "Medicare for all," and she wants to abolish ICE.
Though she has a progressive track record, DeGette characterized Kiros' platform as "extreme."
Indeed, Kiros has been endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, Justice Democrats, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and she espouses many of their radical views, especially regarding Israel. She even claims to have been fired from a law firm after writing a letter supporting Palestine after the October 7 attacks.
Kiros, a lawyer and a Ph.D. student, explained that once she began campaigning for office, she realized: "All these policies I’m calling for are democratic socialism," Vox reported.
DeGette, 68, was first sworn in to Congress in January 1997, four months before Kiros, 29, was born.

Kiros is just the latest democratic socialist to successfully primary a Democrat incumbent. In the New York primary races last week, 32-year-old Darializa Avila Chevalier took out 71-year-old incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander defeated anti-Trump radical Rep. Dan Goldman.
Democratic socialist Assemblywoman Claire Valdez also won the primary for the open seat in the 7th Congressional District of New York. Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) is retiring at the end of the term.
Both Avila Chevalier and Lander had been endorsed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a fellow democratic socialist who, like Kiros, was not born in America. Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents, while Kiros was born in Ethiopia and brought to America as a baby.
Kiros views the 2026 Democratic primary races as an opportunity to reshape the party.
"This is the most anti-incumbent cycle we’ve seen in a really long time," she told Vox. "So I think this is an opportunity to change the party in a way that — I don’t think we’ll have another chance like this. To pass it up, I think, is irresponsible."
"This isn’t just about replacing one generation of leaders with another," she also told Vox. "It’s about replacing it with moral clarity, with urgency, with courage — and making sure that the will of the voters is actually being represented and fought for at the federal level."
The 1st Congressional District of Colorado is heavily Democrat, and Kiros is expected to win the seat in November.

Philadelphia Police have issued arrest warrants for a pair of 16-year-old males in connection with the murder of a Penn State University senior less than a month ago.
The teens — Kaiseem Smith and Azzubair Outen-Fleming — are wanted for murder and related offenses, and police are urging those with information to contact their tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477), WTXF-TV reported.
'They don't deserve to get to walk away from what they did.'
Billy Schmidt, 22, was fatally shot around 1:30 a.m. June 6 in the 1900 block of Durfor Street in South Philadelphia, WPVI-TV reported.
The shooting occurred just blocks from his home in what his family has said may have been an armed robbery attempt, WTXF added.
Neighbors provided police with surveillance video that showed the moments just before gunfire erupted, WTXF reported, adding that Schmidt in the video can be heard asking for his phone back.
More from WTXF:
Police say the suspects were seen in the area of 20th Street between Ritner and Jackson streets before the shooting, and last seen near 22nd and Porter streets. One suspect is described as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with braided hair, wearing a gray "KONFUSED" brand hoodie with skulls and crossbones and a black mask. The second suspect, believed to be the shooter, is between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall and was wearing all black with a camouflage face mask."We are heartbroken over the tragic death of William Schmidt, and we share our deepest condolences with his family and friends," Penn State officials said in a statement, according to WTXF.
Schmidt had been studying digital journalism and media and was planning to graduate in December, WTXF added.
The City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, WTXF reported.
"I hope they find them. I want [them] in jail. That's what I want. They don't deserve to get to walk away from what they did," Matthew Segal of South Philadelphia told WPVI.
