Summary
A handful of House Democrats went to Dallas to counterprogram the Republicans’ 2-day midterm convention, using the gathering to highlight their investigations into President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The push answered a convention message centered on Trump’s achievements, with Democrats trying to redirect attention from Republican celebration to scrutiny of the president and unresolved questions around Epstein-related files.
Democrats also used the Dallas appearance to speak to Texas voters about affordability concerns and to frame the effort as part of their broader campaign to win back control of the House in the midterms.
