The Republican National
Committee said its first-ever midterm convention, taking place in Dallas, will
be the party's largest convention in 10 years.
The event, which will be
held at the American Airlines Center on Sept. 9 and 10, will feature President
Trump.
In an interview with CBS
Texas, RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said this convention will surpass the one the
party held two years ago.
"This event will be
larger than the Republican convention in Milwaukee in 2024," Kraft said.
"The excitement that we are seeing on the ground from grassroots
Republicans in Texas and across this country is real, and because of that, we
anticipate this will be the largest midterm convention since 2016."

"Never before in
history has any major party held a midterm convention, and President Trump
wants to focus in on that and open this up to the American people, because all
of his work has been about improving their lives," he said. "So, he
wants them to be able to have an opportunity to attend this event and hear from
him directly.
"Winners will be
selected by lottery, and a select few chosen to attend will also receive VIP
treatment, including a front-row seat. People can start applying on Saturday,
Aug. 15, by visiting GOPConvention.com.

"Victory Plaza, that is
outside the arena, there will be food, there will be drinks, and there will be
special guest performers," he said.
[...]
[Kraft] said Republicans
will be talking about President Trump's successes this term, including his tax
cut bill and securing the southern border. He said they will highlight the
sharp differences between Republican and Democratic candidates.
"We welcome this
contrast," Kraft said.

The RNC is seeking up to 750
volunteers a day for the convention. Opportunities will be displayed on the GOP
convention website.
