"I think it's going to really energize our base around the country, but especially here in Texas. So, if you take a look at the, rundown of what they're gonna do, it's gonna be every bit chock-full of policy and all kinds of speakers. It looks just like a regular convention to me, so I think it's gonna be fantastic.""I think this will be an exciting opportunity to revitalize and reinvigorate the campaign, and really tell the American people, once again, before the midterm, all the accomplishments that have been made
