Idealized to mobilize base, 'Trumpalooza' risks alienating independents from unpopular government two months before elections

United States President Donald Trump will be the absolute protagonist of an unprecedented Midterm Convention this Wednesday and Thursday in Dallas, Texas. The event was idealized by Trump himself and will bring together the top names in the Republican Party with the goal of mobilizing the party's base.

In his speech on Wednesday night, Trump will defend his just over 18 months of his second term in the White House and argue that he brought the country to the golden era promised at the inauguration, held in January of last year.

Strategies and campaign marketers for Republican senators, congressmen, and governors express distrust about the strategy's effectiveness, especially those facing tight races in their electoral contests across the country.

Democrats bet that the November election, set for less than two months away, will be a referendum on Trump 2.0. The Republicans, however, believe this dynamic will favor the government, contrary to what the opposition expects.
