Good morning. You’re reading the Up First newsletter. This week, Republicans are hosting an unusual midterm convention in Dallas, typically reserved for presidential election years. President Trump will be the main attraction, urging voters to act as if he is on the ballot, as polls show Democrats are more energized. The event, dubbed “Trumpapalooza,” will focus on issues like lowering costs and securing the border. Meanwhile, an Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport killed five people on the ground, with the NTSB investigating the cause. In other news, Canada has imposed tariffs on $20 billion worth of U.S. goods.
