The third day of the GOP convention focused on foreign policy. Although attendees waved red flags that declared “Trump will end the Ukraine war,” Republicans still remain deeply divided about how to approach the issue. We’ll have the full results of the survey in our Midday edition.
We stayed up all night gathering responses to Wednesday evening’s speeches at the Republican National Convention for our survey, The Canvass.
What to expect in Midday today: We checked in with senior Hill staffers and K Street leaders who are following the convention events on whether the GOP is united on key foreign policy issues, including Ukraine, energy, Israel-Palestine relations and China.
The night was also a big one for former President Donald Trump’s VP pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who addressed the convention late in the evening, making the case for the Trump-Vance ticket. We wanted to know whether respondents thought Vance’s speech was effective in building support among moderate Republicans for Trump’s reelection.
Immigration — a major issue for GOP voters — was, unsurprisingly, a prominent theme in the day’s speeches. How will the heavy emphasis on immigration, especially at the southern border, affect Trump’s chances? We’ll share what respondents think.
Look out for the full results in our Midday edition today. In the meantime, you can find the results of Tuesday’s overnight poll here.
