Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican convention with a speech in which he tried to mobilize voters for the November midterm elections. During the event, the former president encouraged the crowd to commit to voting, warning that those who don't vote "will go to hell." This was his last attempt to convince supporters to participate in the midterm elections.
On the previous Thursday, Trump had made a concrete promise to voters. If Republican candidates win the November midterms, the former president promised a five-thousand-dollar dividend to each American citizen. This measure was presented as an additional incentive to ensure the Republican Party's victory in the elections.
The five-thousand-dollar dividend promise represents Trump's attempt to turn the midterms into a sort of referendum on his previous term and policies. By associating a direct financial benefit with a Republican victory, the former president seeks to galvanize the electoral base and increase participation in November's electoral events.
