The NPR Politics Podcast · What is the GOP convention happening this week? · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

Where is it? voice-verified

And most importantly, why is it? voice-verified

OK, so it seems like President Trump is going to be front and center on this thing. voice-verified

But can you talk broadly about the messaging outside of Trump in terms of the things that we think Republicans are going to focus on in this convention? voice-verified

I mean, Mara, what do you make of the political strategy here? voice-verified

Doing an entire midterm convention centered on a president who is historically unpopular at a time when that kind of complicates the lives of many Republicans running in many of these races. voice-verified

I mean, with this convention, though, Tam, I want to go back to this idea that you mentioned of the voice-verified

kind of roughly half or less than half of the candidates running these competitive races showing up at this Republican midterm convention. voice-verified

A lot of things in President Trump's eyes are a sort of fealty test. voice-verified

I feel like we see them all the time. voice-verified

I feel like every primary we talk about this, all the different ways that he is sort of testing people's loyalty. voice-verified

Is there any risk? voice-verified

For these Republican candidates who decide not to come to the Trumpapalooza of President Trump and his team kind of turning against them or at least giving them less resources or I don't know. voice-verified

There's just a lot of different ways that having the incumbent president, even if he is unpopular, being against you as a Republican candidate also doesn't seem great. voice-verified

I see. voice-verified

So you're basically saying he might pick his spots voice-verified

midterm season. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And I mean, the money speaks louder than words to here, though, in terms of these. voice-verified

There's this super PAC, MAGA Inc., which has this giant war chest that you mentioned, Tam. voice-verified
