Hunt discusses Republican Party’s midterm convention on Australian news

Charles Hunt, associate professor of political science in the College of Education and Public Service, was featured in an ABC Australia “The World Today” segment. The story reviewed President Donald Trump’s first midterm Republican convention in Dallas and the party’s efforts to build support ahead of the November elections.

Hunt’s analysis examines the convention through the broader dynamics of the 2026 midterm elections, including the pressures facing both parties as they try to motivate their bases, respond to economic concerns and compete for control of Congress.
