What to watch as Republicans gather in Dallas for Trump's unusual midterm convention

Republicans are heading to Dallas this week for a two-day midterm convention President Donald Trump helped conceive as a way to energize voters ahead of this year’s elections. The event, which Republicans have never previously held for a midterm cycle, is designed to feel more like a rally while also showcasing the first two years of Trump’s term. There will be no formal presidential nomination because that has already been set through primaries. More than 100 House members and candidates are expected, with $25,000 required for tickets and lodging. Trump will speak both nights, including a keynote Wednesday and appearances Thursday after Vice President JD Vance.
