共和党在达拉斯举办为期两天的中期选举大会,将特朗普置于今秋选举的中心舞台3。这场被共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯称为"特朗普-帕洛扎"的活动既是集会也是筹款活动,旨在在特朗普支持率仅约38%的低迷背景下提振党内士气,争取在11月的中期选举中保住众议院控制权13。特朗普将在两晚都发言,周三晚上发表主旨演讲,周四发言3。
大会规模宏大,预计将有100多名众议院共和党成员和候选人出席3。然而,美联社调查发现,四十多名共和党候选人中大多数计划不出席或未作决定,部分因为众议院共和党议员被要求为大会门票和住宿支付25000美元的高额费用3。共和党计划在大会期间将民主党攻击为社会主义者,声称其与美国民众脱离1。
Republicans convened for a two-day midterm election convention in Dallas, positioning Donald Trump as the centerpiece of their strategy to retain control of the House of Representatives amid challenging political headwinds 13. Trump's approval rating stood at approximately 38 percent 1, yet party leadership moved to capitalize on his prominence by featuring him as the main attraction at the gathering, which Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters branded a "Trump-a-Palooza" 3.
Trump delivered remarks on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with his Wednesday keynote address followed by additional remarks after Thursday's proceedings 23. The convention functioned simultaneously as a rally and fundraising event designed to energize party activists heading into the midterm elections 3. House Republican members and candidates were asked to pay $25,000 for convention tickets and accommodations, while the Denton County Republican Party in Texas offered packages ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 3.
Despite the party's efforts to generate momentum, attendance proved uneven among the Republican nominee pool. An Associated Press survey found that most of more than 40 Republican candidates either planned to skip the event or had not yet decided on attendance, with scheduling conflicts and concerns over the steep attendance fees cited as factors 3. Nevertheless, organizers projected that over 100 House Republican members and candidates would participate 3. The convention's timing coincided with NFL games scheduled for both Wednesday and Thursday, potentially affecting broadcast reach for the proceedings 3.
