Houston will host the 2028 Republican National Convention to select the party's presidential nominee for that year.
“I will say the RNC was blown away when we came to Houston,” RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said during a news conference announcing the decision. “The 2028 convention will showcase the very best of Houston, the very best of Texas and the very best of the Republican Party.”
The RNC’s 168 members voted to choose Houston on Friday morning in Milwaukee, the site of next year’s convention and the first Republican primary debate earlier this week. The announcement came uncommonly early — five years before the convention and a year before the 2024 convention.
McDaniel brought up the party’s efforts to reach out to Hispanic voters in the selection of a city in Texas, where conservative Hispanic candidates have progressed in long-time Democratic strongholds in South Texas.

Maybe Houston 2028 will be where the remnants of conservatism (the traditional, mainstream conservatism that's been purged from whatever that mess is today) come together to kick of a new party our democracy must have to represent America's conservatives.
Hope, hope. Nothing continues without reaction and change. We know whatever happens, LMPV will be around "happening" too.
