The Republican convention for midterm elections will be held on September 9 and 10 in Dallas, Texas, and will be marked by a strong fundraising campaign. Anyone who wants to take a photo alongside Donald Trump will have to pay US$ 88,600, equivalent to approximately R$ 457,000. The option of being photographed alongside the Vice President, JD Vance, costs US$ 35,000, approximately R$ 180,000.
To participate in a roundtable with the American president, interested parties will need to pay US$ 250,000, almost R$ 1.3 million. A roundtable with JD Vance is more accessible, costing US$ 75,000, approximately R$ 385,000. Neither the White House nor the Republican Party have commented on these values.
It is not common for a political party to hold a convention specifically for midterm elections, but the Republicans bet that the event will boost their prospects for the election, in which they face the risk of losing control of Congress.
