Speaking at a press briefing, Johnson described his recent phone call with Trump, calling the idea \u201cgenius\u201d and potentially historic. \u201cTrump called me and said, \u2018Mike, I got a great idea \u2014 how about a midterm convention?\u2019\u201d Johnson recalled. \u201cIt\u2019s never been done before, and it would be a great rallying point before the election. It would build momentum, highlight our achievements, and celebrate what the Republican Party has accomplished.\u201d Johnson said Trump plans to coordinate with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and RNC Chairman Joe Gruters to finalize details, adding, \u201cI think everybody\u2019s on board. I can\u2019t wait. We have so much to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1440\">Traditionally, national conventions are held only in presidential election years, but Trump\u2019s proposal aims to energize the GOP base, unify messaging, and spotlight legislative successes since his 2024 victory. Republicans view the midterm convention as a strategic counterweight to Democrats, who are also considering similar events. \u201cIf Democrats want to put their record on display \u2014 chaos, inflation, border failures \u2014 go ahead,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"2023\">The GOP currently controls both chambers of Congress but faces historical headwinds, as ruling parties often lose seats in midterms. Johnson believes the convention could help defy that trend by rallying voters and projecting unity. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting everyone on the same page and laying out a bold agenda for the future,\u201d he said. For Trump, it\u2019s another chance to blend political showmanship with strategy. As Johnson concluded, \u201cWe\u2019ve got the ideas, we\u2019ve got the energy, and now we\u2019ll have the convention \u2014 proof that the Republican Party is ready to lead America forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Johnson Confirms Trump\u2019s Plan for a 2026 Midterm GOP Convention House Speaker Mike Johnson has confirmed that former President Donald Trump\u2019s proposal for a Republican Party&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
