Search Results for "Republican National Convention"

A Trump-aligned super PAC pulled its latest attack ad against an Arizona Democrat after it repeatedly showed the wrong man, and the face it used belongs to a Republican who once spoke at Trump’s convention.

The ad from No Going Back PAC targeted Jonathan Nez, the former Navajo Nation president running against GOP Rep. Eli Crane in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. It described Nez as “backed by liberal politicians” and “pushing higher taxes,” The Arizona Republic reported.

But twice the ad showed Myron Lizer, Nez’s former vice president, instead of Nez, including over the line “Arizona can’t afford Jonathan Nez.” Lizer is a Republican who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention endorsing Trump’s re-election....

A website that tops search results for the Republican Party's first midterm convention sends visitors to the Justice Department's files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The redirect was first reported Friday by journalist Jake Lahut, who wrote in his newsletter, Straight from the Hut, that the top Google result for the Sept. 9-10 gathering in Dallas kept sending users to the Epstein page.

That site is not the Republican National Committee's official page, Lahut wrote in a correction. The official address is gopconvention.com, and the domain drawing the traffic, gopdallas2026.com, appears to be what he called an "SEO trolling effort."...

Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, a close ally of President Donald Trump's, visited Dallas this week to berate Republican convention organizers over an alleged plot to cover up condemnations of violent Islamic jihadists.

Loomer made the accusation in a series of posts on X from Dallas on Thursday morning, hours after the opening night of the Republican National Committee's first midterm convention.

She named no sender, produced no document, and her posts offered no evidence that anyone gave such an instruction....

A late-night legal filing from the Justice Department was viciously mocked Wednesday after it exposed the Trump administration’s argument to a federal judge for why President Donald Trump’s White House media ban should remain in place.

“DOJ's attempt to justify Trump's CNN et al. press ban will make you laugh, it'll make you cry,” wrote Ira Goldman, a former congressional lawyer and government policy adviser, in a social media post on X.

Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House last week, and the three outlets subsequently sued the Trump administration for alleged First Amendment violations, requesting that U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly grant them a temporary restraining order and immediately block Trump’s ban....

GOP candidates in competitive House races told a columnist they don't know whether they'll appear at President Donald Trump's midterm convention because of scheduling conflicts.

In a Tuesday column, political commentator Joe Perticone noted a "conveniently timed epidemic of GOP scheduling conflicts" ahead of next week's midterm convention, which Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters has dubbed "Trumpapalooza."

"I've come up with an easy way to determine how concerned House Republicans are about Trump dragging them down in this fall's midterm elections," Perticone wrote. "All you need to do is ask them whether they plan to be seen with him next week."...

Online critics are pointing out glaring oversights after the Republican National Convention posted the schedule for President Donald Trump's midterm convention.

On Tuesday, a schedule made the rounds on social media that showed that Trump and Vice President JD Vance will headline the first night of the convention in Dallas on September 9, with Trump coming back to headline on September 10 as well. The two-day event has already been plagued by reports of the GOP dreading the event and fearing tiny crowds.

"Going way out on a limb to say this is going to suck," wrote Democratic political strategist Addisu Demissie in a post on X. "And I actually have some experience in this area!"...
