"Do you know what happens if you don't vote? You go to hell": Trump leaves a warning to voters at the Republican convention

CNN Portugal11 September 2026 at 06:10

Donald Trump issued a warning to voters during the Republican convention, stating that those who don't vote "go to hell." The former president made this declaration in a final attempt to convince Americans to support him in the November elections.

Trump encouraged the crowd at the convention to join him in a voting commitment, reinforcing his mobilization message among Republican supporters.

The episode highlights the polarizing tone that has characterized Trump's campaign, using religious threats to pressure voters to show up at the polls.

The Republican convention thus served as a stage for the candidate to consolidate support from his base, using controversial arguments to appeal to electoral participation.
