Melania skips Trump's Texas midterm convention, widening GOP absence
TL;DR Summary
First Lady Melania Trump will skip Donald Trump’s two‑day Texas midterm convention, joining a growing number of GOP lawmakers opting out for various reasons, including prior obligations or concerns about the event’s messaging and cost. Trump will still headline the Dallas gathering, which clashes with an NFL season opener and the 9/11 anniversary as at least 45 Republicans stay away and scrutiny over the convention’s impact on the November elections persists.
