Trump makes GOP midterm convention about himself, much to Democrats’ delight
Trump and party leaders will use the two-day event to push his record, while Democrats argue Republicans are facing a tougher midterm environment.
- On Wednesday, September 9, the Republican Party opened its two-day, Trump-centered midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where President Donald Trump addressed the crowd in primetime, declaring he is 'on the ballot.'
- President Donald Trump conceived this convention last year to energize the GOP base and showcase his administration's record, prompting the party to change its rules to overcome historical headwinds facing the party in power.
- Trump proposed a $5,000 'dividend' to every adult citizen 'if Republicans win the House and United States Senate,' while New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Scott Maltzie said fundraising is '100 percent' the event's main purpose.
- Speakers used the Dallas stage to attack Democrats on immigration and crime, with Senator Ted Cruz accusing them, without substantiation, of forming a 'new and dangerous red-green alliance' between communists and Islamists.
- The convention represents a risky bet that Trump can mobilize voters despite his popularity at an all-time low, while Vice President J.D. Vance anchored the second night, positioning himself as the heir apparent to the movement.
