President Donald Trump said he was considering staging a national Republican convention ahead of the midterm elections, in a bid to rally support behind his party ahead of what is expected to be a hard-fought battle for control of the House of Representatives.

“I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!!” Trump wrote Thursday in a social media post.
