Republican midterm convention in Dallas concludes with Trump and Vance speeches

The Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, concluded with high-profile addresses from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Trump urged supporters to vote in the upcoming November elections, making a controversial remark that those who fail to vote would “go to hell.” He also proposed a $5,000 dividend for US citizens if Republicans secure control of both the House and the Senate, and encouraged voters to act as if he were personally on the ballot.

JD Vance delivered a keynote address that many observers viewed as a positioning for the 2028 presidential race. Vance framed the midterm elections as a battle for the future of America and the preservation of national identity. During his speech, he faced a confrontation with a protester waving Mexican and Palestinian flags. Vance responded by telling the individual that if they loved Mexico so much, he would buy them a plane ticket to go there, later characterizing the protest as a symbol of the “extreme left.”
