Dallas Hosts Historic GOP Midterm Convention | Dallas News

Dallas is set to host the first-ever Republican Midterm Convention this September, reigniting its historic role as a GOP hub — echoing 1984 when Reagan accepted his nomination here with Bush as VP. That convention, spanning four August days, marked the last time a vice presidential vote was held at a Republican gathering and showcased Reagan’s heartfelt thanks for Dallas’s warmth. Back then, Texas was politically divided — a Democratic governor, balanced congressional delegation, just over 16 million residents, and far lower gas prices and home values. Now, Republicans are using this event to spotlight midterm races and push key issues like taxes, healthcare, and border security. And looking ahead, Houston will host the 2028 National Convention — proving Texas remains central to the party’s national strategy.
