Republicans are gathering for their midterm convention, aware that historical trends are not in their favor this election season. They are counting on President Donald Trump to help protect their majorities in the House and Senate. The convention is setting the stage for the party's future, including a potential post-Trump era.

JD Vance is taking a prominent speaking role, ahead of President Trump. Vance's future plans, including a potential White House run, are still unclear. President Trump has not named a successor.

Further details about the convention and the party's plans are available from the source. The event is part of the lead-up to the midterm elections, where Republican control of Congress is at risk.
