The Republican Party is holding a two-day 'midterm convention' in Dallas, Texas, with President Donald Trump scheduled to appear both nights, as the party tries to retain its majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November midterm elections.

Control of the U.S. Senate is now up for grabs after Republicans appeared to have a firm grip on the chamber heading into the final two years of Trump's term, WJXT News4JAX reports. The shift, with less than two months until Election Day, adds pressure on the party to hold its House majority.

Brandon Herrera, known on social media as 'The AK Guy', is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House from Texas with explicit support from Trump, Clarín reports. Herrera's candidacy is one of several races the party is watching as it works to keep control.
