Trump Wants to Make This Midterm Year 'Special' to Avoid Losing Republican Control of Congress

Trump promised $5,000 payments to adults and urged Republicans to unite as they try to protect vulnerable House and Senate majorities.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump addressed the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, promising $5,000 to each American adult if his party wins the midterms.
  • Republicans are attempting to overcome voter concerns regarding the economy and the war in Iran, counting on Trump to help protect their narrow House and Senate majorities.
  • Speakers echoed warnings that tax cuts and immigration enforcement are at risk if Democrats win, while many in the crowd filled with MAGA gear roared back in support.
  • Democrats characterized Republicans as out of touch with voters, while the convention aims to defy historical trends where sitting presidents typically lose seats during midterms.
  • Thursday's lineup features a keynote from Vice President JD Vance and showcases the "Contrast with America," a legislative package of tax breaks and spending cuts.
