Republicans plan a prime-time TV blitz from their first midterm conference in Dallas on Sept. 9-10 at the American Airlines Center to argue Democrats are controlled by an activist left, aiming to shift the midterms away from a referendum on Trump. The move comes as Trump’s approval slips into the 30% range and the ongoing war with Iran continues to weigh on the economy. GOP operatives have spent months assembling video assets of progressive figures and plan to repeatedly air them during the conference to portray Democrats as out of the mainstream. Assets include footage of Hasan Piker—a left-wing political streamer with a large youth following who has drawn criticism for strongly anti‑U.S. foreign-policy positions and harsh criticism of Israel—and Texas US Senate candidate James Talarico, targeted over support for progressive issues (trans rights, looser immigration, public education reform) and past comments such as God is nonbinary.
