Jon Decker reports from Dallas, Texas, as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance close out the Republican midterm convention with their final appeals to voters ahead of the November elections.

Vance took center stage during the convention’s closing night, delivering a high-profile keynote immediately before President Trump and urging Republicans to turn out in November. The vice president also met with delegates from several politically important states and raised $2 million at a GOP fundraiser as attention increasingly turns toward the Republican Party’s potential 2028 presidential field. Vance has not announced whether he will seek the presidency.

Decker also examines Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s absence from the Dallas convention while he was traveling in South America and the broader discussion surrounding potential Republican candidates in 2028. Other names being discussed include Rubio, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Ted Cruz.

Plus, new economic concerns are hitting prospective homebuyers. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6.76%, up from 6.71% the previous week, according to Freddie Mac.

And on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, President Trump and the first lady are scheduled to participate in an observance at the Pentagon before the president travels to Ireland.

President's Schedule for the Day

Jon Decker reports from Dallas, Texas, following the opening night of the Republican Party’s midterm convention, where President Donald Trump delivered a nearly two-hour speech and unveiled a proposal to give American adults a $5,000 “dividend” if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in November.

Trump said the money would have to be spent in the United States and suggested tariff revenue could help fund the proposal. Details remain limited, however, and a program of that scale would likely require congressional approval and cost more than $1 trillion.

Decker also breaks down the broader Republican midterm strategy after Trump urged voters to act as though he were on the ballot and pledged to campaign for candidates around the country. The convention also featured an unexpected video appearance from Democratic Sen. John Fetterman.

Plus, the White House prepares for the possibility of a prolonged war with Iran as the conflict continues to affect global energy markets. And Trump says he would consider pardoning his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, who submitted a pardon application to the White Hous

U.S. vs Iran: Escalating Military Strikes

U.S.-Canada Trade War Intensifies

Supreme Court Rulings on Congressional Maps

Jon Decker reports from Dallas, Texas, as Republicans gather for their first-ever midterm convention and President Donald Trump prepares to take center stage ahead of the November elections.

With Republicans defending narrow majorities in Congress, Trump is playing an outsized role in the party’s midterm strategy as GOP leaders, administration officials and candidates gather in Dallas.

Decker also reports on the escalating conflict with Iran after the United States destroyed Iranian oil tankers in response to attempted attacks on U.S. warships in the Middle East. The strikes come as Washington increases pressure on Iran’s oil exports and its ability to fund military operations.

Plus, the U.S.-Canada trade dispute intensifies as the Trump administration announces new restrictions and tariffs on Canadian products, while officials from both countries remain in contact over a possible resolution.

Finally, the Supreme Court declines to allow Missouri to use a newly drawn congressional map in the November midterm elections, adding another development to the nationwide battle over redistricting and control of Congress.
