Trump adviser Peter Navarro takes the stage at the 2024 Republican National Convention.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has broken with precedent by voting to hold a convention during the 2026 midterm cycle.<\/p>\n

Members of the committee voted to approve the rule change on Friday, paving the way for the convention to take place later this year.<\/p>\n

Bill O\u2019Brien, the national committeeman from New Hampshire, said the vote allows them to \u201cconduct a special ceremonial convention between presidential conventions, such as a midterm convention.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPresident Trump has expressed interest in holding that convention,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Politico provides further details<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The amendment was approved at the RNC\u2019s winter meeting with no objections. An unusually high number of RNC members had already left the meeting to catch early flights ahead of winter storms bearing down on much of the country by the time the vote was brought up.<\/p>\n

National party conventions have typically been held only during presidential elections in the modern era. But President Donald Trump announced in September<\/u> that the party would be holding a \u201cMidterm Convention,\u201d leaving the party scrambling to execute.<\/p>\n

The event would give Republicans an opportunity to message the administration\u2019s wins and platform candidates in battleground races across the country as they fight to hold onto congressional control.<\/p>\n

Democrats, who held a series of midterm-year national conventions in the 1970s, are also flirting with the possibility. At the Democratic National Committee\u2019s winter meetings in Los Angeles last month, officials from Nebraska and Utah were among those jockeying to host the potential event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

IT\u2019S OFFICIAL: Republicans are moving forward on hosting a 2024 presidential-style CONVENTION ahead of the 2026 midterms<\/p>\n

President Trump is about to campaign this year like it\u2019s 2024, culminating into an unprecedented midterm year RNC<\/p>\n

GREAT idea to surge MAGA turnout! pic.twitter.com\/S87FctaWuV<\/a><\/p>\n

A location for the event has not yet been confirmed, although Las Vegas has been announced as a possible venue.<\/p>\n

President Trump first floated the idea last August, saying that the party was poised to \u201cWIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS\u201d because of the successes of his political agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have raised far more money than the Democrats, and are having a great time fixing all of the Country Destroying mistakes made by the Biden Administration, and watching the USA heal and prosper,\u201d Trump wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results are incredible, a record pace!!! In that light, I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n
