Speaker Lineup Revealed For 2026 GOP Midterm Convention

Uncategorized

The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Saturday released the lineup of speakers for the 2026 GOP midterm convention in Dallas.

“This election comes down to one simple choice: lower costs, lower taxes, secure borders, and common sense versus higher taxes, wide open borders, and the radical liberal agenda the Democrat Party has fully embraced,” said RNC Chairman Joe Gruters.

“Republicans are the party of hardworking, patriotic Americans who believe in a fair day’s pay, safe streets, secure borders, and a government that gets out of our way and lets Americans win again. Democrats have chosen a different path. They have chosen a path hijacked by the radical Left and defined by their most extreme, out-of-touch, anti-American views. Come November, the American people are going to see this choice clearly and they are going to deliver a landslide for common sense,” he continued.

“The Republican Convention will feature a keynote address on night one from President Donald J. Trump and unforgettable closing remarks from the President on night two. Vice President JD Vance will deliver his keynote address to the Republican Convention on night two,” a press release read.

“Additional speakers will be announced in the days ahead,” it added.

Other Keynote Speakers include:

  • Scott Bessent
  • Todd Blanche
  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  • Dr. Mehmet Oz
  • Scott Turner
  • Karoline Leavitt
  • Donald Trump Jr.

Axios shared further:

House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott are among the congressional leaders who will appear.

One name that is notably absent from the list is Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who Trump has attacked for not doing more to pass election security legislation. But Thune is scheduled to be in Dallas next week for fundraising, and organizers say they are still adding names to the list.

Republicans in some of the toughest races aren’t attending, including Sen. Susan Collins in Maine and former Sen. John Sununu in New Hampshire.

Republicans will use the convention to mobilize Trump voters, who party strategists worry will be less inclined to turn out than they were two years ago.

Much of the two-day event will be focused on branding Democrats as far-outside-the-mainstream socialists.

The convention will put Trump onstage alongside Republicans running in many of the races that will determine control of Congress.

Elected Officials who will appear include:

  • Senator Ted Cruz (TX)
  • Senator Jon Husted (OH)
  • Senator Dave McCormick (PA)
  • Governor Greg Abbott (TX)
  • Lt. Governor of Texas Dan Patrick
  • Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton, Candidate for U.S. Senate
  • Rep. Rob Bresnahan (PA-08)
  • Rep. Mike Collins (GA-10), Candidate for U.S. Senate
  • Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15)
  • Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19), Candidate for Governor of Florida
  • Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26)
  • Rep. Brian Jack (GA-03)
  • Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17)
  • Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13)
  • Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07)
  • Rep. Jason Smith (MO-08)
  • Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI-03)
  • Mayor Eric Johnson, Mayor of Dallas, TX

Candidates who will appear include:

  • Captain Mike Bouchard, Candidate for U.S. House (MI-10)
  • Laurie Buckhout, Candidate for U.S. House (NC-01)
  • Greg Cunningham, Candidate for U.S. House (NM-02)
  • Jay Feely, Candidate for U.S. House (AZ-01)
  • Eric Flores, Candidate for U.S. House (TX-34)
  • Carlos De La Cruz, Candidate for U.S. House (TX-35)
  • Mike LiPetri, Candidate for U.S. House (NY-03)
  • Derek Merrin, Candidate for U.S. House (OH-09)
  • Marty O’Donnell, Candidate for U.S. House (NV-03)
  • Mike Rogers, Candidate for U.S. Senate (MI)
  • Tano Tijerina, Candidate for U.S. House (TX-28)
  • Michael Whatley, Candidate for U.S. Senate (NC)

The convention will take place September 9-10.

However, some Republicans expressed doubt that the convention will positively impact the GOP’s midterm election performance.

USA TODAY explained:

The midterm showcase is also facing grumbling from some Republicans who say it is a distraction from meeting with voters. Several GOP candidates in close House and Senate races remain noncommittal about attending the convention, while some have made clear they won’t be there ‒ including Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who is running in one of the most pivotal races to decide control of the Senate.

And there are questions about how many people will tune in to a show that may not be widely broadcast and is competing with the opening two nights of the NFL regular season.

Control of Congress hangs in the balance, and with it the potential for Democrats to put a check on the president’s final two years in office, making Trump’s bet on his own powers of persuasion a high-stakes gamble on the future of his presidency.

“If you think he’s a drag on the ticket due to low approval ratings, concern about his handling of the economy, and the ongoing war in Iran, centering the election on his performance seems especially risky,” said Joshua Blank, research director for the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas.

The GOP’s big Dallas pep rally came together over the last year at Trump’s urging. The president spoke to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, about it shortly before Thanksgiving last year. “I said ‘That’s not a thing,’ and he said ‘make it a thing!’” Johnson said at a recent campaign event.

Republicans have never held a midterm convention, but Trump is eager to blunt Democrats’ momentum.

In a warning sign for Republicans, a series of off-year and special election victories for Democrats over the past year ‒ combined with Democrats consistently outperforming their 2024 margins ‒ has signaled a potential “blue wave” in November.

With Trump back in office, Democrats are eager to go to the polls.

Sacred Scripture

Acts 28 ends abruptly and that’s never sat right with me. With the inclusion of Acts 29, we are given a nice well-rounded finale to Luke’s biography and some interesting closure to Pontius Pilate as well. Join me as I continue my Lost Books of the Bible series on YouTube, reading from Acts 29, 3 Corinthians, and the Phoenix of Tertullian.

You can read along with these texts and more on our Sacred Scripture page. 

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
