Marjorie Taylor Greene says she never agreed to speak at the RNC's Dallas midterm convention

Aug 27, 2026

A public split inside the Republican Party is deepening ahead of the midterms, bad news for Trump and party leaders trying to project unity.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene found her name on the speakers list for the RNC's September convention in Dallas and says nobody asked her — and she won't be going.
  • Her attack line: Republicans have nothing to campaign on after promising no foreign wars and cheaper groceries, then going to war with Iran while housing, gas and food costs stayed high.
  • Ousted Texas senator John Cornyn is also on the list, despite Trump backing his primary opponent, suggesting the list is a wish list rather than confirmed names.
  • Ranchers are angry too, after Trump let in cheap tariff-free beef from Argentina, some of which has since been recalled.
  • Trump's approval sits around 33%, below where Biden ended his term, with part of his own base drifting away.

Outlook: The Dallas convention on September 9–10 looks set to become a loyalty rally rather than a campaign launch, with more Republicans likely to keep their distance.
