The RNC is moving towards holding a midterm political convention.
According to a memo obtained by CNN, a recent rule change allows for the”possibility of an America First midterm convention-style gathering aligned with President Trump’s vision for energizing the party this fall.”
This is something Trump previously called for.
The Republican National Committee voted Friday to move forward with holding a midterm political convention, an unusual GOP festival that President Donald Trump would headline in hopes of rallying supporters to focus on the critical fall fight for control of Congress.
To fulfill Trump’s wish of staging a political convention later this year, Republican leaders had to change party rules that previously only called for a convention during presidential election years. They did so by unanimously passing a resolution Friday during the party’s winter meeting in Santa Barbara, California, an RNC official said.
A memo obtained by CNN said the rule change allows for the “possibility of an America First midterm convention-style gathering aligned with President Trump’s vision for energizing the party this fall.”
RNC Chair Joe Gruters called the convention a “Trump-a-palooza.”
He also said in the statement that the RNC’s winter meeting “shows how completely united Republicans are behind President Trump and our efforts to win the midterms.”
And speaking with reporters on Friday, Gruters called the convention a “Trump-a-palooza” where “we can really highlight all the incredible things that this president has done.”

Gruters, in a statement to Fox News Digital, touted that the RNC’s winter meeting “shows how completely united Republicans are behind President Trump and our efforts to win the midterms. The RNC has been aggressively focused on expanding our war chest, turning out voters and protecting the ballot in this fall’s elections. We’re building the operation needed to protect our majorities and give President Trump a full four-year term with a Republican Congress.”
Details on the date and location of the midterm convention will come at a later date and will likely be announced by the president.
But a Republican source told Fox News Digital it’s probable the convention would be held at the same time as the RNC’s summer meeting, which typically occurs in August.
