Back then, Texas was politically divided, with a Democratic governor and a smaller population of just over 16 million, while gas cost just $1.20 a gallon — about $3.83 today. This year’s convention will spotlight Trump’s legacy, energize midterm races, and tackle hot-button issues like taxes, healthcare, borders, and manufacturing — featuring key speeches from VP J.D. Vance and President Trump. And look ahead: Houston will host the 2028 RNC, cementing Texas as the GOP’s future political heartland.
