Escalation: Donald Trump will headline Dallas convention
Donald Trump will now speak on both nights of the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Sept. 9 and 10. It is the first midterm convention of its kind, and he had previously been slated to give only a single keynote on Sept. 10.
The schedule lists 109 speakers across two evening sessions at the American Airlines Center. Vice President JD Vance will keynote the first night, and Trump will still headline the second while appearing on stage both evenings. Programming runs from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern each night.
The shift comes amid concern that turnout and viewership could lag, with opening night overlapping the start of the NFL season. It puts Trump at the center of both sessions.
