What happened, for context

The Republican Party held its first-ever midterm convention in Dallas, Texas on September 9-10, 2026. President Trump delivered keynote remarks on Wednesday night and closing remarks on Thursday, pledging $5,000 payments to every U.S. adult if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in November's midterm elections. Vice President JD Vance spoke Thursday night. The convention took place amid Trump's low approval ratings, an unpopular U.S. war with Iran, and economic concerns about inflation and cost of living.
