- Joe Gruters announced on Sunday that the RNC will hold a midterm convention before the general election.
- Trump had outlined the plan for a pre‑election convention in September.
- RNC must schedule the convention in the narrow window after the final primary ballots are cast and before the general election.
Why it matters: Republican candidates gain a platform to unify and fundraise before November, while opponents lose a chance to counter the GOP’s messaging; the tight schedule forces rapid coordination, influencing voter perceptions ahead of the election.
