RNC unveils midterm convention speaking order headlined by Trump and Vance

.

The Republican National Committee on Tuesday released the full list of speakers slated to deliver remarks at its first-ever midterm convention to be held in Dallas on Wednesday and Thursday.

The event is set to take place over two nights and will feature President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance as keynote speakers. Each day will last six hours, with each hour focused on a different topic in Trump’s vision for America intended to contrast Republican candidates with their Democratic competitors.

“President Donald Trump and Republicans are fighting to launch the golden age of America while extreme liberal Democrats want to tear this country apart and create a liberal failed state with their out-of-touch and anti-American views,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters said in a press release. “The choice is clear in November and the American people will reject these liberal policies and deliver historic wins for Republicans across the country.”
