## Resource

Republicans are staging a high-stakes, non-nominating convention in Dallas just weeks before midterms, hoping to energize voters and offset President Trump’s waning approval ratings — even as many lawmakers skip the event to campaign locally. With economic concerns looming and enthusiasm lagging, party leaders are pushing a message of tax cuts, border security, and drug pricing wins, while speakers aim to paint Democrats as extreme and spotlight GOP candidates in tight races — all while honoring 9/11 responders and a fallen conservative activist.
