Trump-Driven Convention Risks Fading GOP Hopes

The Republican National Convention is set to take place in Dallas, Texas, and despite being an unsolicited event in midterm election years, it's been programmed around President Donald Trump.

The convention will feature 12 hours of programming over two nights, with the majority consisting of speeches from Republican candidates and incumbents discussing what's at stake in the upcoming elections.

Trump has vowed to make himself the central figure in this election season, telling a crowd in South Carolina in August that they should 'pretend I'm on the ballot.'

The event has been met with skepticism, as Republican contenders are trying to distance themselves from the White House due to Trump's unpopularity.
