Second Day of Republican Convention: JD Vance's Speech and Trump's Closing Remarks
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
DALLAS, Texas — Republicans gathered at their midterm convention know that history is not on their side this election season, but they are counting on President Donald Trump and his major two-day event in Dallas to mobilize voters and protect their majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate. They spent the first night labeling Democrats as extremists, before Trump closed out Wednesday with a speech in which he claimed the election is 'very, very simple' and made the extravagant promise of giving $5,000 to every adult American if his party wins. Such a proposal could cost over a trillion dollars at a time when the nation faces a record debt of $40 trillion; even some Republicans expressed reluctance about linking direct payments to electoral outcomes. Joe Lonsdale, a prominent donor and activist who supports much of Trump's agenda, stated on X that he is 'strongly against the 'bread and circuses' bribery.'
