A two-day midterm convention is underway, featuring President Donald Trump. The event is seen as a way to put Trump at the center of the midterm elections. Many party members are attending, hoping to gain national attention by appearing alongside Trump. However, some are skipping the convention, citing conflicting obligations or objections to paying for access.
The convention is part rally and part fundraiser, aiming to boost enthusiasm for the midterms. It comes at a time when Republicans are trying to overcome Trump's low approval ratings. Organizers have billed the event as a showcase for Trump.
Further details about the convention and its goals are available, but it is clear that Trump's presence is intended to energize his supporters and impact the midterm elections.
