The full RNC voted unanimously by voice vote to amend its bylaws and remove procedural hurdles to hold a first‑ever 2026 "midterm convention" backed by Donald Trump, with Chair Joe Gruters saying early fall is the likely timing and Dallas and Las Vegas being floated as potential host cities. Gruters said the party must "do things outside the box" to defy history and called Trump "by far the best messenger we have," and the committee also voted to posthumously honor Charlie Kirk.
