LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – If you didn’t know the Republican Party was holding a midterm convention in Dallas this week, you’re not alone.

The Napolitan News Service reports that just 11% of voters knew about the two-day event, which wraps up Thursday in Dallas, Texas.

Awareness was nearly identical across party lines: 12% of Republicans and 11% of Democrats knew about the convention. With streaming services and fall sports in full swing, attracting viewers could be a tough sell. Among all voters, 3% said they planned to watch most or all of the convention, while another 3% planned to watch at least some of it.

Three Michigan Republicans were announced as speakers: U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain, 10th Congressional District nominee Mike Bouchard and U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers. Bouchard spoke Wednesday night.

Republican gubernatorial nominee John James, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, is campaigning in Michigan this week.

Energizing the Republican base will be a major focus during the final two months before the Nov. 3 election. Pollster Scott Rasmussen said the GOP must reach traditional Republicans who may not believe a trip to the polls is worth their time.

“The Republican strategy has to be to find a way to get those more traditional Republicans to say, ‘It’s still worth voting,’” Rasmussen said. “We need to acknowledge that the Democrats in these races would be worse.”

During his visit to Michigan last week, Vice President JD Vance argued that the Republican Party must offer voters an alternative to progressive Democratic candidates such as U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and 7th Congressional District nominee William Lawrence.

Reaching independent voters may be more difficult, however. Napolitan News found that just 1% of independents planned to watch the midterm convention.
