President Donald Trump delivered a two-hour speech at the Republican National Committee (RNC) convention in Dallas, Texas, as the midterm elections approach. During his address, Trump criticized several political opponents, including former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, highlighting ongoing tensions within the party and the broader political landscape.
Trump spoke for over 90 minutes at the RNC convention. CNN’s Alejandra Jaramillo reported that President Donald Trump’s speech was about 107 minutes. The president is known for lengthy speeches and his longest has been at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2019, where he spoke for about 122 minutes. In the 2026 State of the Union address, Trump spoke for about 108 minutes and in 2025, during the joint address to Congress, Trump spoke for 99 minutes approximately.
“As President Trump passes the 90 minute mark of his speech and insists nobody has left the arena, it’s clear that lots of folks have left the arena,” Garrett Haake, chief White House correspondent for NBC News shared, along with a video.
Journalist Aaron Rupar added “Trump is having trouble reading and slurring heavily as he approaches 2 hours of speaking.
Another page noted “Trump just rambled for 2 hours at his failing “Trump-a-Palooza” convention, where he: Called Ken Paxton ugly, Begged people not to go to the bathroom so there weren’t as many empty seats in the audience, Mused about renaming New Mexico to New America, Bribed Americans to vote for Republicans in the midterms, Lied to Americans about the White House ballroom not using taxpayer money, Mused about renaming the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean after America.”
