President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of holding a 2026 national convention to galvanize Republicans ahead of the must-win mid-term elections.

“I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president didn’t mention a potential venue, but advised supporters to “stay tuned.”

Trump’s gambit would mark the first time the GOP has held a convention during a mid-term election.

To explain his thinking, the president asserted that “the Republican Party is doing really well” and has raised “far more money than Democrats” as the nation heals from the previous administration’s ruinous errors.

We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS. We 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. The 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. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!!!

House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly signed on to the idea.

Democrats are also considering a convention ahead of the 2026 elections to promote their midterm candidates, according to Axios.

The event — a smaller version of the national conventions the party holds in presidential election years — would allow the party to fundraise and get media attention as it tries to win back both chambers of Congress next year.

The Democrat Party used to hold conventions during or right after midterm cycles in the past but stopped doing so in the mid-1980s, Axios noted.
