Trump rallies RNC crowd, urges voters to treat him like a ballot candidate
Donald Trump addressed the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, praising his administration’s achievements and urging supporters to vote as if he were on the ticket.
At the American Airlines Center, Donald Trump took the stage following JD Vance’s speech and a rendition of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” He listed his second-term accomplishments, including the largest tax and regulatory cuts, increased military investment and reduced prescription-drug prices, while citing White House figures that border releases have been zero for 15 months and net migration turned negative in 2025.
Trump warned that a Democratic victory would reverse these gains and urged voters to remember the chaos under former President Joe Biden. He promoted a “Trump dividend” of $5,000 per adult if Republicans secure the midterms, framing the election as a personal favor to the audience. The rally ended with attendees raising their hands and pledging to mobilize friends and family to vote on November 3, with Trump adding a religious warning about not voting.
Why it matters
The speech aims to boost Republican turnout and shape voter perception ahead of the November midterm elections.
