> The Republican Party is holding an unusual two-day convention in Dallas ahead of the November midterms, with Donald Trump speaking both nights and JD Vance closing the first. Designed as a campaign rally and fundraiser rather than a nominating convention, it aims to mobilise voters as Trump’s approval rating sinks and Republicans face difficult races for control of Congress.
