Republicans conclude Dallas convention with Trump and Vance rallying voters<\/p>\n

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance closed a two-day Republican convention in Dallas, urging voter turnout and highlighting the party\u2019s agenda ahead of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Republicans concluded their two-day midterm convention in Dallas with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance urging voters to mobilize ahead of November\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

During his remarks, Trump asked thousands of attendees to raise their right hands and join him in a pledge to vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet out and vote, please. Get out and vote,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The convention featured Republican speakers highlighting the party\u2019s tax law, border enforcement and economic agenda as the GOP fights to maintain control of Congress.<\/p>\n

Trump also returned Thursday to his promise to send $5,000 payments to American adults if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate.<\/p>\n

Trump told CBS News Texas he does not believe congressional approval would necessarily be required.<\/p>\n

The proposal could cost roughly $1.2 trillion. Legal and budget experts say Congress would likely have to authorize the money.<\/p>\n

Vance pointed to tariff revenue as a possible funding source, though current tariff collections would cover only a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

The final night also included moments of remembrance ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and marking one year since the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will honor Charlie by carrying his torch to save this nation that we all love so dearly,\u201d Donald Trump Jr. said.<\/p>\n

Republicans leave Dallas facing political challenges.<\/p>\n

A recent Reuters\/Ipsos poll put Trump\u2019s approval rating at 33% and found Democrats expressing greater enthusiasm than Republicans about voting in November. Historically, the president\u2019s party has also typically lost ground in midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Vance used his speech to urge Republicans to turn out in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received this national birthright, and we are going to fight for it by electing Republicans this November,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n

The convention was designed in part to rally the Republican base and build enthusiasm heading into the final stretch of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Trump has promised to take that effort on the road, campaigning for Republican candidates across the country.<\/p>\n

But some candidates in competitive races skipped the Dallas convention, including Republicans seeking distance from the president and others who remained in their districts to campaign.<\/p>\n

That sets up the next test for Republicans: whether the enthusiasm generated in Dallas can translate into turnout in the races that will determine control of Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Republicans conclude Dallas convention with Trump and Vance rallying voters President Trump and Vice President JD Vance closed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-432497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
