U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 30th (local time) that the ruling Republican Party will hold a "MIDTERM CONVENTION" in Dallas, Texas, from September 10 to 11, ahead of the November midterm elections.

President Trump shared the news on his social media platform, Truth Social, calling it "Big News!" and promising that it "will be fantastic."

Typically, national conventions for U.S. political parties are held during presidential election years to nominate candidates, and they are not held ahead of midterm elections.

President Trump did not hide his anticipation, describing the event as "the first ever" and "something that has never been done before; it will truly be a historic event."

President Trump had previously suggested in a Truth Social post last August that the Republican Party should hold a midterm convention, and it appears the plan is now proceeding according to his wishes.

As this midterm election will determine the congressional landscape for the latter two years of Trump's second term—and is seen as a pivotal contest that will decide whether he maintains or loses his momentum for governing—the convention is expected to be an event that focuses the party's energy on highlighting and promoting the achievements of Trump's second term.

President Trump stated, "We will celebrate the incredible success of the American people, who have transformed our country through the return of a Great America and our America First policies." He cited key achievements such as the elimination of taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, strengthened borders, safer communities, lower prices and true affordability, job creation, and American energy dominance.

He also added, "Oil prices are dropping rapidly while we denuclearize Iran."

President Trump further remarked, "We are fulfilling the promises that politicians have only talked about for decades but never achieved."

He also emphasized that the convention "will be a rally like no other," adding, "We will celebrate our country, our accomplishments, and our bright future. The Golden Age of America has only just begun."
