Delegates and speakers alike are fired up heading into the midterms. Energy is high in the American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas on Wednesday evening as the Republican Midterm Convention gets under way. A near-constant stream of speakers, including candidates, politicians, and Trump administration officials, have been highlighting GOP accomplishments and emphasizing the importance of turning out voters in November. Even though it is some time until President Donald Trump is scheduled to take the stage at 8 p.m. Central Time, the arena is already full.
“We absolutely will not go back to open borders, but we absolutely will go back to common sense,” a speaker stated.
On the convention floor, delegates from across the country have expressed enthusiasm and loud cheers. Jan Lowry, a delegate from Virginia, said: “I’m excited. I’m fired up. It’s been great to be here.” Her message to GOP leadership echoed the general atmosphere of the convention: “Keep it up. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”
