Today, the Republican
National Committee (RNC) announced the speaking order and time blocks for the
historic 2026 Republican Convention where President Donald Trump will be joined
by elected officials, prominent officials, party leadership, and everyday
Americans as they layout a clear vision for the future of our country.
RNC Chairman Joe Gruters
released the following statement regarding the update:
“The midterm election is
about the future of our country. President Donald Trump and Republicans are
fighting to launch the golden age of America while extreme liberal Democrats
want to tear this country apart and create a liberal failed state with their
out-of-touch and anti-American views. The choice is clear in November and the
American people will reject these liberal policies and deliver historic wins
for Republicans across the country.”
The 2026 Republican Midterm
Convention will draw a clear contrast between Republican’s common-sense agenda
focused on affordability, security, safety and American strength and the
Democrats’ liberal and extreme alternative. Republicans will highlight how they
have worked to reverse failed policies and make the case for a Republican
Congress that can deliver results instead of a Democrat controlled Congress,
which promises obstruction and gridlock.
President Donald Trump will
deliver his keynote address on night one to set the tone for the Republican
Convention and the President will also deliver closing remarks on night two to
send an energized and united party back to their states ready to deliver huge
wins in November.
