Top White House advisers and Republican officials privately admit that they have stopped attempting to dissuade Donald Trump. Instead of localizing congressional races, Trump is centering the midterms on his own presidency by promising voters $5,000 payouts if Republicans win.
Donald Trump claimed that if Republicans win the midterm elections, the Iran war will end and gas prices will drop to below $2 per gallon. He also claimed that absent convention attendees stayed home solely due to venue capacity.
During a two-hour address at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Donald Trump promised every American adult a $5,000 dividend if Republicans win. He went on to attack Texas candidate James Talarico, and outlined a healthcare plan that would eliminate insurance subsidies.
At the Republican midterm convention, Donald Trump offered an unusual endorsement for Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton. He publicly criticized Paxton’s wardrobe, speech patterns, and physical appearance before eventually telling voters to elect him.
Senator Tim Scott delivered an extraordinarily energetic speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas. Scott attempted to recreate presidential-year enthusiasm to boost voter turnout in an election year where Donald Trump is not on the ballot.
Vice President JD Vance appeared on Fox News to defend a proposal by Donald Trump that promises $5,000 to adult citizens if Republicans retain Congress. News anchors challenged Vance on the $1.3 trillion price tag and pointed out that previous tariff dividend promises never materialized.
During a lengthy speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Trump asserted that the venue was completely full and that no audience members were leaving. Video footage and reporters inside the arena contradict these claims by documenting empty seats and departing attendees.
Finally, Senator Ted Cruz gave Donald Trump an A grade on the economy during an interview by citing past $5 gas prices under Joe Biden. Historical fuel data reveals that gasoline had fallen to $3 per gallon when Biden left office before rising again under Trump.
