The 2026 Republican midterm convention will be hosted in North Texas. Why Dallas and not Fort Worth? (fortworthreport.org)

September’s convention will be the first time in more than 40 years to be hosted in Dallas, now a Democratic-majority city, as opposed to its neighboring city Fort Worth. Dallas was considered a strong Republican city the last time a convention was hosted in 1984.

Fort Worth has historically been a GOP-friendly city in a county governed by a conservative majority.

It raises the question: Why bring the convention to Dallas rather than Fort Worth?

One reason could be because of Dallas’ large media market, said Brian Mayes, a Dallas political consultant.
