2028 Republican National Convention
The 2028 Republican National Convention is an event in which delegates of the United States Republican Party will select the party's nominees for president and vice president in the 2028 United States presidential election. It is scheduled to be held at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Following the victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election, the Republican Party is controlling the White House from 2025 to 2029, and therefore, the Republican National Convention will be expected to be held sometime after the Democratic National Convention due to the modern convention of the incumbent presidential party holding its convention later than the opposition party's convention.
Site selection
Under the leadership of then-Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee changed their rules in the summer of 2022 to allow for the party to select their 2028 convention location even before the 2024 presidential election had taken place. By January 2023, the Republican National Committee was already taking preliminary steps in its site selection, including visits to some potential host cities.Cities that courted the 2028 convention included Houston, Texas ; Miami, Florida ; and Nashville, Tennessee. Another city that received consideration was Jacksonville, Florida,.
On August 25, 2023, the Republican National Committee chose Houston as the site of their 2028 convention. This is an uncommonly early selection of a convention site. The general sessions of the convention will take place at the city's Toyota Center arena.
