In a surprise announcement today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) revealed that Houston has been selected as the host city for their 2028 presidential nominating convention. Houston emerged victorious, triumphing over other contenders such as Miami, Jacksonville, and Salt Lake City. The decision was made by the RNC’s 168 members during their summer meeting in Milwaukee, where the party’s 2024 convention will also be held.
This upcoming convention will mark Houston’s return to hosting such a significant event, with its last hosting duties dating back to 1992 when President George H.W. Bush was renominated for a second term.
Interestingly, the RNC’s summer meeting this year was conducted in secrecy, deviating from their usual practice of allowing media coverage, even if it was limited to the closing general session. The party offered no official explanation for this departure from transparency.
Speculations arose as to whether the closed-door meeting was an attempt to shield party members from inquiries regarding RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel’s alleged involvement in former President Donald Trump’s controversial actions following the 2020 election.
CORRECTION: Dallas was erroneously included in a previous version of this report as one of the cities considered for the GOP’s 2028 presidential nominating convention.
