POLICY WIRE — Dallas, USA — President Donald Trump took center stage at the Republican Party’s inaugural midterm convention, urging his base to cast their ballots as if he were personally running for office. Although his name is absent from the November ballot, the former president emphasized the importance of maintaining GOP control over both the House and the Senate.
Amid concerns regarding low approval ratings and potential voter apathy, Trump identified approximately 35 tossup seats in Congress. He committed to campaigning in each of those districts to bolster support.
During his address, Trump proposed a $5,000 dividend check for Americans, contingent upon Republicans retaining control of Congress. He noted that the funds would be restricted to domestic spending, though he provided no details on how the estimated $1.35 trillion cost would be financed or managed.
The president also claimed that the ongoing war in Iran, now in its seventh month, would conclude shortly after the election. Throughout the event, Trump remained the primary focus, with his name mentioned 155 times by various speakers and 16 times by the president himself.
