Will Trump’s GOP convention help or harm Republicans?: Live discussion

The GOP is set for an unusual midterm convention in Dallas this week that is intended to drive Republican voters to the polls.

To appeal to voters and raise enthusiasm, President Trump is making the convention very much about himself . But some in the GOP are skipping the event , as they seek distance from the president and his weakening poll numbers.

Can the GOP convention boost Trump and his party, or is it at risk of backfiring?

Join a live discussion with The Hill’s Amie Parnes , Ian Swanson and Julia Mueller , who is traveling to Texas for the event.

The event starts at noon EDT. Watch above.
