GOP lawmakers skip Trump's Texas midterm convention amid reelection fears

Dozens of Republican lawmakers will not attend Trump’s Texas midterm convention, with Politico reporting about 45 GOP members skipping due to concerns it will hurt their reelection chances. Costs to attend start around $25,000, and some say Trump’s rambling messaging could hurt the party, leading to calls to distance themselves—including scrubbing Trump from campaign sites—while analysts warn the election could be tough for Republicans.
