特朗普计划在本周达拉斯召开的共和党中期大会上主导活动，试图通过要求选民"假装我在选票上"，将中期选举变成一场关于自己的政治全民公决。1 虽然特朗普本人并非候选人，但共和党正全力配合这一战略，使其支持者投票决策围绕他展开。1
大会为期两天，预计将有超过100名共和党众议院成员和候选人参加，需支付25,000美元的门票和住宿费。2 特朗普将在周三发表主旨演讲，周四在副总统JD·万斯演讲后再次出场进行闭幕词。12 此外，超过50名演讲人将出席，包括国务卿肯尼迪和财政部长贝森特等内阁成员，重点介绍特朗普的移民政策、降低处方药价格、税收改革和关税政策。2
为了强化这一战略，共和党采取了多种举措。1 其官方渠道在线销售标价16美元的啤酒杯套，描绘特朗普为万宝路男人形象。1 特朗普的政治组织MAGA Inc拥有近4亿美元的战争基金，宣布将在德克萨斯州参议员竞选中投入1000万美元用于电视和数字广告。1 特朗普支持的现任司法部长肯·帕克森在该竞选中战胜了现任参议员约翰·科宁，但帕克森面临多年丑闻困扰。1
然而，特朗普的这一策略面临挑战。1 民主党众议院竞选委员会主席苏珊·德尔贝内表示对共和党能从大会获得提升持怀疑态度。1 民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科对德克萨斯州参议员竞选寄予希望，认为这是得州自1994年以来首次可能出现民主党赢胜的情况。1
Donald Trump is positioning himself at the center of the 2024 midterm elections despite not appearing on the ballot himself. The former president will headline a two-day Republican convention in Dallas this week, where he plans to deliver remarks on Wednesday evening and again after Vice President JD Vance speaks on Thursday night.12 Trump has explicitly urged voters to "pretend that I'm on the ballot," seeking to transform the midterm contest into a referendum on his political record and mobilize Republican supporters.1
The Republican Party has embraced this unconventional strategy. Over 100 Republican House members and candidates are expected to attend, with ticket and accommodation fees set at $25,000.2 The GOP is actively promoting the event, including selling merchandise such as $16 beer koozies depicting Trump in a Marlboro Man-style image.1 More than 50 speakers are scheduled to address the convention, featuring Cabinet members and focusing on Trump's signature policy issues including immigration, prescription drug pricing, tax reform, and tariffs.2 Trump's political organization, MAGA Inc., which holds nearly $400 million in campaign funds, has announced plans to invest $10 million in television and digital advertising in the Texas Senate race.1
The Texas Senate race has become a focal point of Trump's efforts. Trump backed current Attorney General Ken Paxton, who defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the primary, though Paxton has faced years of scandals.1 Democrats view this race as their most promising opportunity in the state since 1994.1 House Democratic Campaign Committee Chair Suzan DelBene expressed skepticism about Republicans gaining momentum from the convention.1
