The Republican Party held its first-ever midterm convention in Dallas on September 9–10, drawing protesters outside the American Airlines Center, where at least two people were detained. The two-day event focused heavily on attacking Democrats over issues including transgender participation in sports, border security and immigration, while Republican speakers sought to energize voters around cultural and public-safety concerns. President Trump also proposed a $5,000 “dividend” for every U.S. adult if Republicans retain control of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections.
