A Republican convention in Dallas began with a visible gaffe on Wednesday when a sign on the lectern was missing the letter 'L' from "Dallas." This resulted in the sign displaying "Da las" as the event commenced.

The Republican Midterm Convention, widely anticipated to focus on former President Donald Trump, faced immediate online commentary due to the sign malfunction.

Mention of the missing letter circulated on social media platforms, with some users on X, formerly Twitter, making light of the situation. The exact cause or timing of the letter's disappearance remains unclear.
