President Donald Trump is expected to arrive in North Texas on Wednesday afternoon for a two-day Republican National Committee convention. Air Force One is scheduled to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at 2:50 p.m. The event, held at the American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas, is designed to rally supporters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
The convention was conceived by Trump, who has stated his intention to create a political gathering similar to the quadrennial presidential nomination events. The format aims to showcase the party's vision for the country and include celebratory elements, such as a balloon drop at the conclusion of the event.
Trump is scheduled to address the crowd on both nights of the convention. On Wednesday, he will deliver a keynote address. On Thursday, he is set to speak following remarks by Vice President JD Vance.
Law enforcement agencies at the federal and local levels are preparing a significant security presence for the event. The convention is expected to draw approximately 20,000 visitors to the city. The Secret Service indicated that large fences will be installed to secure the perimeter of the American Airlines Center.
