The Midterm Convention: Can Trump Turnout Hold the GOP Majority?

The Midterm Convention: Can Trump Turnout Hold the GOP Majority?

Author: FOX News Radio September 8, 2026 Duration: 33:11
With control of Congress on the line, a midterm convention in Dallas is shaking up traditional campaign strategy to rally low-turnout base voters. Fox News political analyst and convention host committee advisor Reince Priebus joins to detail how President Trump's presence is key to energizing working-class and rural voters, why razor-thin margins will decide key swing districts, and how the party plans to tie vulnerable Democrats to far-left messaging. Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, a look back at President George W. Bush’s crisis management reveals the real-time decisions made as the nation came under fire. FOX News Contributor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove joins to provide an intimate account of the tense hours aboard Air Force One, the scramble to secure the country, the last-minute preparations for the Oval Office address, and the unscripted Ground Zero bullhorn speech that rallied a grieving nation. PLUS, commentary by Karol Markowicz, Fox News contributor, columnist for the New York Post and FoxNews.com, bestselling co-author of Stolen Youth, and host of The Karol Markowicz Show — on the pushback against sending kids to Harvard and elite colleges, how higher education has turned into leftist indoctrination, and why more parents are saying "no thanks" to Ivy League schools.
