Trump pleads for Republican votes in Dallas, offers $5,000 cash incentive
At a Dallas rally, Donald Trump knelt and begged voters to back Republicans, proposing a $5,000 payment for each vote that returns the party to Congress.
Donald Trump took the stage in Dallas, Texas, and, visibly trembling and drenched in sweat, fell to his knees to implore the crowd to vote Republican in the upcoming election. He announced a plan to give each voter $5,000 if their support restored GOP control of Congress, a scheme that would cost over $1 trillion and violate campaign finance laws. Vice President JD Vance immediately distanced himself from the suggestion, and the Fox and Friends team labeled it financially untenable.
Observers likened Trump’s behavior to a desperate performance, noting his declining poll standings and lack of concrete policy proposals. The episode underscores growing concerns about the former president’s tactics as the midterm campaign intensifies.
